Conventionally, there are problems that high resolution is difficult to be achieved since an extreme narrow width bank can not be formed and an aperture ratio as a light-emitting device is low. In addition, there is a threat of electrostatic discharge damage or adhesion of dust during the transportation of a substrate provided with an anode into the equipment for depositing EL material. In view of the foregoing, a first bank formed of an inorganic insulating film is formed, and an insulating film is formed thereon, then, a second bank in contact with a side face of the first bank by carrying out etch back, and then, a side wall bank is formed. For preventing electrostatic discharge damage, an antistatic layer is formed, and the substrate is transported, then, the antistatic layer is removed to form the second bank.

Rain water is deflected from the foundation wall of a building structure by a flashing of non-ferrous metal that is fastened to the foundation below the grade level of the soil. Soil is trenched and exposed about the foundation, and the flashing is installed in the trench around the perimeter of the foundation wall. After installation, the trench is backfilled with soil thereby covering the flashing and restoring grade. During heavy rains or floods, water seeping into the soil is deflected away from the foundation by the flashing. This prevents water from pooling at the bottom of the foundation and seeping up into the structure through the joint where the foundation meets the basement floor.

A broadcast transmission will generate a packet storm in a mesh network, which will last for a very long time and block the network for other traffic. There is a parameter in a broadcast control mechanism named radius which controls the duration of the packet storm. The invention proposes to dynamically select the smallest radius to reduce the packet storm to a minimum, by reporting the smallest possible radius parameter for the broadcast control mechanism. Each device or node of the network comprises a neighbor table for tracking which of its neighboring devices or nodes has successfully relayed the broadcast transmission. Additionally, each device or node comprises a broadcast transaction table to keep a record of any new broadcast transmission or transaction that is either initiated locally or received from a neighboring device or node. Each broadcast transmission comprises a so called radius parameter R which indicates an allowed number of hops through the mesh network before the broadcast transmission is discarded. The mechanism to report broadcast status may be realized in an exemplary embodiment of the invention by adding two new tables to track broadcasting status from neighboring devices: the child table, to which the concerned network node or network device has transmitted or relayed a broadcast transmission, and the broadcast listening table; and by adding three fields into the broadcast transaction table: the radius, report interval and report timeout; and also by adding two new parameters into broadcast message itself: report interval and report timeout.
