TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The inorganic layer comprises at least one species selected from a metal oxide, metal nitride, metal carbide, metal oxide-nitride or metal oxide-carbide. The inorganic layer is formed by a sputtering method. The inorganic layer comprises an oxide containing aluminum and/or silicon, or a nitride containing aluminum and/or silicon.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Laminate: In the barrier laminate, at least two organic layers and at least two inorganic layers are laminated alternately. Preferred Device: The device having, as a substrate, and a gas barrier film comprising a substrate film and the barrier laminate on the substrate film. The device is sealed up with a gas barrier film comprising a substrate film and the barrier laminate on the substrate film; or is sealed up with the barrier laminate. Preferred Components: The (meth)acrylate having a polycyclic aromatic skeleton consisting of sp2 carbon atoms is compound of formula (I) or (II) having at least one acryloyloxy group or at least one methacryloyloxy group in the molecule. The compound (I) or (II) is free from a substituent other than a substituent comprising an acryloyloxy group or methacryloyloxy group. The (meth)acrylate has a polycyclic aromatic skeleton consisting of sp2 carbon atoms having at least two functional groups. The polymerizable composition comprises a (meth)acrylate having at least three functional groups. The (meth)acrylate has a polycyclic aromatic skeleton consisting of sp2 carbon atoms having a molecular weight of 100-1000. The polymerizable composition comprises 50-100 wt.% of the (meth)acrylate having a polycyclic aromatic skeleton consisting of sp2 carbon atoms based on the total amount of polymerizable monomers in the composition. The polymerizable composition further comprises a (meth)acrylate having at least three functional groups, and the (meth)acrylate having a polycyclic aromatic skeleton consisting of sp2 carbon atoms having two functional groups.R1 and R2=substituent;m and n=0-5.
