In a display panel manufacturing method and a display device manufactured by the method, a plate-shaped partition wall-forming member is sandwiched between a mold having an inverted shape to partition walls and a support mold to press-mold the partition wall-forming member therebetween, thereby forming a partition wall member comprising partition wall portions and a bottom insulating layer portion while coming into close contact with the mold. Thereafter, the partition wall member is transferred onto a display substrate to complete a display panel.
