Patent ID: 7897979

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a first electrode electrically connected with a thin film transistor over a substrate having an insulative surface; a light absorbing multi-layered film formed over a portion of the first electrode wherein the light absorbing multi-layered film comprises a first light transmitting film, a film comprising one selected from the group consisting of Al, Cu, Au, Mo, Ni, Pt, Rh, Ag, W, Cr, Co, Si, Zr, and Ta, and a second light transmitting film; a bank covering an end portion of the first electrode; a layer containing an organic compound formed over and in contact with a side surface of the first electrode; and a second electrode formed over the bank and the layer containing the organic compound, wherein the first electrode is a multi-layered structure, wherein a number of laminated layers of the first electrode at an end region of the first electrode is more than a number of laminated layers of the first electrode at a central region, wherein at least one of the first light transmitting film and the second light transmitting film is a nitride insulating film, and wherein the second electrode is formed over the light absorbing multi-layered film with the bank interposed therebetween.
