Abstract: Hillock is prevented when aluminum wiring is used in order to reduce line resistance in a display unit. The aluminum wiring is formed into multi-layer structure and each layer contains an element which is not solidly solubilized with aluminum. The element are preferably rare earth metal such as Nd, high-melting point transition metals such as Ta and noble metals such as Pd. Intermetallic compounds of aluminum and the element are educed at an interface of the multi-layer wiring and it is prevented that grains of aluminum are enlarged to form hillock.

Abstract: When any of pixels is not lit in an organic EL display having an organic EL layer between a first electrode and a second electrode, an organic layer of the pixel is observed. If the organic layer of the pixel contains foreign matter, the second electrode is separated into a region in contact with the foreign matter and a region not in contact with both the contact region and the foreign matter. Thus, not-lit display regions are reduced as less as possible, making it possible to manufacture an organic EL display excellent in display performance.

Abstract: The present invention realizes a satisfactory step coverage of a thin film to be formed over a stacked line or electrode and satisfies the adhesion of the stacked line or electrode to a substrate, and also prevents the disconnection of the overlying line of the stacked line or electrode as well as the occurrence of a short-circuit between the overlying line and the underlying line, thereby improving reliability. A line having a stacked structure is provided on an insulative substrate. The stacked structure includes a first layer made of a first metal layer and a second layer made of a second metal different from the first metal layer. Each end surface of the first layer has a forward-tapered shape, while each end surface of the second layer is formed into a shape perpendicular to a surface of the substrate or an inversely-tapered shape.
