Thereafter, an inorganic insulting film containing nitrogen, which is less likely to transmit moisture compared with an organic resin, is fanned so as to cover the opened organic resin film.

Abstract: A first winding, a second winding, a fourth winding, and a fifth winding functioning as a transformer are wound around respective side legs of a three-leg core. Third windings functioning as a DC reactor are wound around a center leg. Winding directions of the first winding, the second winding, and the third windings are set so that magnetic fluxes generated by DC currents flowing through the respective windings merge in the same direction at the center leg, and winding directions of the fourth winding and the fifth winding are set so that magnetic fluxes generated by AC currents flowing through the respective windings cancel each other at the center leg. Thus, the transformer and the DC reactor are integrated using the three-leg core, whereby size reduction and loss reduction of the integrated magnetic component are achieved.

Abstract: In the case where a material containing an alkaline-earth metal in a cathode, is used, there is a fear of the diffusion of an impurity ion (such as alkaline-earth metal ion) from the EL element to the TFT being generated and causing the variation of characteristics of the TFT. Therefore, as the insulating film provided between TFT and EL element, a film containing a material for not only blocking the diffusion of an impurity ion such as an alkaline-earth metal ion but also aggressively absorbing an impurity ion such as an alkaline-earth metal ion is used.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a technology for manufacturing a highly reliable display device at a low cost with high yield. In the present invention, a spacer is formed over a pixel electrode, thereby protecting the pixel electrode layer from a mask in formation of an electroluminescent layer. In addition, since a layer that includes an organic material that has water permeability is sealed in a display device with a sealing material and the sealing material and the layer that includes the organic material are not in contact, deterioration of a light-emitting element due to a contaminant such as water can be prevented. The sealing material is formed in a portion of a driver circuit region in the display device, and thus, the narrower frame margin of the display device can also be accomplished.
