A novel method for fabricating a display apparatus is provided. An anode is formed over an insulating layer, an EL layer is formed over the anode, and a cathode is formed over the EL layer. A plurality of light-emitting elements are formed without provision of a partition by selectively removing parts of the anode, the EL layer, and the cathode. A conductive layer having a light-transmitting property is formed to cover the plurality of light-emitting elements. The cathodes of the plurality of light-emitting elements are electrically connected to the conductive layer.
