To provide a manufacturing method of an organic EL element having an organic layer and a pattern-like insulating layer formed between electrodes, wherein patterning of the insulating layer is easy, and there is no risk of exerting a bad influence on the organic layer when forming the insulating layer.

A positive electrode substrate 11 in which an organic layer 13 containing a positive electrode 3 and a luminescent layer 5, and a negative electrode substrate 8 in which a negative electrode 7 is formed are prepared, the pattern-like insulating layer 6 is provided by transferring the transfer layer of an insulating layer transfer film to the surface of the organic layer 13 of the positive electrode substrate 11, and the negative electrode substrate 11 on which the pattern-like insulating layer 6 is formed is pasted to the negative electrode substrate 12 to manufacture the organic EL element 1.
