Abstract:
A high-performance thin film semiconductor device and a simple method for manufacturing the device. After depositing a silicon film at a rate of deposition of 6 ANGSTROM /min at 580 C, the film is thermally oxidized. As a result, a high-performance thin film semiconductor device can be easily and stably manufactured. A thin film semiconductor device which can be driven at a high speed under a low voltage is also provided. By using a short-channel TFT circuit having an LDD structure, the device can be operated at a high-speed under a low voltage. In addition, the power consumption of the device can be suppressed and the breakdown voltage of the device can be increased. By optimizing the highest impurity concentration LDD part and the highest impurity concentration, LDD length, and channel length of the source-drain part, the operating speed of the device can be further increased. When a display device or display system uses such a thin film semiconductor device, the driving signal can be at a TTL level or lower.

A transistor circuit (100) comprising a driving transistor (110) the conductance of which between the source and drain is controlled in accordance with the input voltage, and a compensating transistor (120) the gate of which is connected to either the source or drain so that the input signal is supplied to the gate of the driving transistor through the source and drain. The transistor circuit is controllable by the input signal having a relatively low voltage, and the variation of the threshold characteristic of the driving transistor is compensated. A current-controlled element (500) is connected to the source or drain of the driving transistor (100).

This display device comprises a substrate (100) having an array of display elements (120) and a power source wiring layer (107) outside the display elements, a bank layer (113) for isolating the display elements from one another, an electrode layer (123) covering the display elements and the bank layer, and a sealing substrate (200) for further covering the electrode layer by bonding the outer periphery portion of the substrate and the sealing portion (202) around the outer periphery portion via bonding means (301) such as an adhesive. The outer periphery of the sealing substrate is located inside the outer periphery of the substrate, and the outer periphery portion of the electrode layer is connected to the power source wiring (107) in the sealing portion (b+c) of the sealing substrate. Thus, a connection area (c) for connecting the electrode (123) and the wiring (107) is utilized as the bonding area (b+c) of the substrate and the sealing substrate to reduce parts which are constituent elements of the picture frame of the display device while securing a required bonding width required for a gas barrier, etc.

Abstract:
A circuit for driving an electrooptic device, such as a liquid crystal device, wherein the functions of D/A conversion and η-correction are realized with a circuit configuration which is relatively simple and small-sized and corresponds to digital picture signals. The driving circuit for a liquid crystal device is provided with a DAC3 which outputs the voltage signal Vc corresponding to N-bit digital picture data DA indicating gradation to the signal line of the liquid crystal device. The DAC3 performs η-correction by approximating its output driving voltage characteristics to the optical characteristics of the liquid crystal device based on either one of paired first and second reference voltages in accordance with the value of the highest-order bit, i.e. either '0' or '1'.
