It is an object of the present invention to reduce the consumption of
materials for manufacturing a display device, simplify the manufacturing
process and the apparatus used for it, and lower the manufacturing costs.
The present invention provides a technique to manufacture a display
device, applying a means to form a pattern such as a contact hole formed
in a semiconductor film, a wiring or an insulating film, or a mask
pattern to form such a pattern by drawing directly, a means to remove a
film, such as etching and ashing, and a film forming means to selectively
form an insulating film, a semiconductor film and a metal film on a
predetermined region.
