Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a highly reliable display device at a low cost with high yield. According to the present invention, a step due to an opening in a contact is covered with an insulating layer to reduce the step, and is processed into a gentle shape. A wiring or the like is formed to be in contact with the insulating layer and thus the coverage of the wiring or the like is enhanced. In addition, deterioration of a light-emitting element due to contaminants such as water can be prevented by sealing a layer including an organic material that has water permeability in a display device with a sealing material. Since the sealing material is formed in a portion of a driver circuit region in the display device, the frame margin of the display device can be narrowed.

Abstract: A change in electrical characteristics is suppressed and reliability in a semiconductor device using a transistor including an oxide semiconductor is improved. One feature resides in forming an oxide semiconductor film over an oxygen-introduced insulating film, and then forming the source and drain electrodes with an antioxidant film thereunder. Here, in the antioxidant film, the width of a region overlapping with the source and drain electrodes is longer than the width of a region not overlapping with them. The transistor formed as such has less defects in the channel region, which will improve reliability of the semiconductor device.

Abstract: A change in electrical characteristics is suppressed and reliability in a semiconductor device using a transistor including an oxide semiconductor is improved. Oxygen is introduced into a surface of an insulating film, and then, an oxide semiconductor, a layer which is capable of blocking oxygen, a gate insulating film, and other films which composes a transistor are formed. For at least one of the first gate insulating film and the insulating film, three signals in Electron Spin Resonance Measurement are each observed in a certain range of g-factor. Reducing the sum of the spin densities of the signals will improve reliability of the semiconductor device.
