Abstract: An apparatus for producing a label prevents malfunctions and/or inappropriate operations possibly associated with respective processes in a label producing procedure. An adhesive layer of a base tape is wound around the peripheral surface of a first reel member to form a base tape roll. A print-receiving tape is wound around the peripheral surface of a second reel member to form a print-receiving tape roll. The two rolls are placed in a cartridge which is then loaded into the apparatus for producing a label. The base tape and print-receiving tape are fed out from the base tape roll and print-receiving tape roll, respectively, while a predetermined character is printed on the print-receiving tape. The printed print-receiving tape is bonded to the base tape to produce a RFID label. The first reel member associated with the base tape roll included in the cartridge is formed with a groove or a projection on the peripheral surface thereof.

Abstract: In an active matrix type display device, an insulating film pattern is formed between scanning lines and/or between signal lines. An upper insulating film is formed on the insulating film pattern and the lines and in spaces between the insulating film patterns and the lines so that the upper insulating film has a continuous top surface at a substantially same level. For further improvement in flatness and adjustment in film thickness of the upper insulating film, the whole surface of the upper insulating film is etched back. After that, pixel electrodes are formed on the upper insulating film.
