When using a liquid droplet ejection method, a conventional photomask is not required, however, it is required instead that a moving path of a nozzle or a substrate is controlled with accuracy at least in ejecting liquid droplets. According to the characteristics of compositions to be ejected or their pattern, such ejection conditions are desirably set as the moving rate of a nozzle or a substrate, ejection quantity, ejection distance and ejection rate of compositions, atmosphere of the space that the compositions are ejected, the temperature and moisture of the space, and heating temperature of the substrate. A liquid droplet ejection system in accordance with the invention comprises an input means for inputting data of a thin film pattern, a set means for setting a nozzle for a ejecting a composition containing a material for forming the thin film or setting a moving path of the substrate to which the composition is ejected, an image pick-up means for detecting an alignment marker formed on a substrate and a control means for controlling the moving path of the nozzle or the substrate.

As a wiring becomes thicker, discontinuity of an insulating film covering the wiring has become a problem. It is difficult to form a wiring with width thin enough for a thin film transistor used for a current high definition display device. As a wiring is made thinner, signal delay due to wiring resistance has become a problem. In view of the above problems, the invention provides a structure in which a conductive film is formed in a hole of an insulating film, and the surfaces of the conductive film and the insulating film are flat. As a result, discontinuity of thin films covering a conductive film and an insulating film can be prevented. A wiring can be made thinner by controlling the width of the hole. Further, a wiring can be made thicker by controlling the depth of the hole.

As a substrate gets larger, time of manufacture is increased due to the repetition of film formations and etchings; waste disposal costs of etchant and the like are increased; and material efficiency is significantly reduced.

Further, a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device according to the invention includes at least one step for forming the following patterns required for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device without using a photomask: a pattern of a material layer typified by a wiring (or an electrode) pattern, an insulating layer pattern; or a mask pattern for forming another pattern.
