Abstract

In a thin film semiconductor device realized on a flexible substrate, an electronic device using the same, and a manufacturing method thereof, the thin film semiconductor device and an electronic device include a flexible substrate, a semiconductor chip, which is formed on the flexible substrate, and a protective cap, which seals the semiconductor chip. Durability of the thin film semiconductor device against stress due to bending of the substrate is improved by using the protective cap.
