1. A light emitting device comprising:
a transistor over an insulating surface comprising:
a semiconductor layer comprising a channel forming region, a source region and a drain region;
a gate insulation film; and
a gate electrode;
a first insulating layer over the transistor;
a second insulating layer over the first insulating layer;
a third insulating layer over the second insulating layer;
a cathode over the first insulating layer and electrically connected to one of the source region and the drain region;
a light-emitting layer over the cathode;
an anode over the third insulating layer and the light-emitting layer;
a seal pattern over the second insulating layer; and
a sealing plate over the anode and the seal pattern,
wherein the seal pattern is separated from the anode, and
wherein the seal pattern does not overlap the light-emitting layer.
