1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, more specifically, to a light emitting device including a light emitting element, for example, an organic light emitting diode (OLED), formed on a plasticsubstrate. The present invention also relates to an OLED module in which an IC including a controller and the like is mounted onto an OLED panel. Throughout the specification, OLED panels and OLED modules are generically referred to as light emittingdevices. The present invention further relates to an electrical appliance using the light emitting device. 2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a technique for forming a TFT (thin film transistor) on a substrate has been remarkably developed, and continues to be further developed for its application to active matrix display devices. Particularly, a TFT using a polysiliconfilm can operate at a high speed because such a TFT has a higher field effect mobility than a TFT using a conventional amorphous silicon film. Therefore, the control of pixels, which has been conventionally performed by a driver circuit provided outsidea substrate, can be now performed by a driver circuit provided on the same substrate on which the pixels are formed. Such an active matrix display device includes various circuits or elements formed on the same substrate. Owing to this structure, the active matrix display device provides various advantages such as reduced manufacturing cost, reduced size of adisplay device, an increased yield, and an increased throughput. Furthermore, an active matrix light emitting device including an OLED as a self-luminous element (hereinafter, simply referred to as a light emitting device) has been actively studied. The light emitting device is also called an organic ELdisplay (OELD) or an organic light emitting diode. The OLED is optimal for reduction in thickness of a light emitting device because it has a high visibility for its self-lumines
