A constitution of the display device of the invention is shown in the following.
The display device includes a pixel unit including TFTs of which the active layer
contains an organic semiconductor material for forming channel portions in the
opening portions in an insulating layer arranged to meet the gate electrodes. The
pixel unit further includes a contrast media formed on the electrodes connected
to the TFTs for changing the reflectivity upon the application of an electric field,
or microcapsules containing electrically charged particles that change the reflectivity
upon the application of an electric field. The pixel unit is sandwiched by plastic
substrates, and barrier layers including an inorganic insulating material are provided
between the plastic substrates and the pixel unit. The purpose of the present invention
is to supply display devices which are excellent in productivity, light in weight
and flexible.
