    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device capable of realizing a reduction in the area of each pixel without degrading noise resistance. A switching transistor (13) and a signal accumulation capacitor (15) are formed on a semiconductor substrate (base semiconductor region) (11) of a first conduction type, on the basis of each unit region for constituting a pixel Px. The switching transistor (13) has a structure in which a source region (13S) and a drain region (13D) of a second conduction type are formed on the semiconductor substrate (11), and a gate electrode (13G) is formed on the region between the source region (13S) and the drain region (13D), with an insulating layer (12a) therebetween. The signal accumulation capacitor (15) has a structure in which high-concentration semiconductor regions (15D) and (15S) of the first conduction type are formed on the semiconductor substrate (11), and an electrode (15G) is formed on the region between the semiconductor regions (15D) and (15S), with an insulating layer (12b) therebetween. A structure may be adopted in which a bias semiconductor region (17) is not provided, and the semiconductor regions (15D) and (15S) are made to serve also as the bias semiconductor region.

    Abstract: The invention provides an optical spatial modulation device capable of rewriting an image with a high degree of efficiency and implementing a very fast response speed and an extremely high intensity, and provides an image display apparatus employing the optical spatial modulation device. Created for each pixel of an optical spatial modulation device are a 1st memory (21) for storing pixel data of an image to be displayed, a 2nd memory (23) to which the pixel data stored in the 1st memory (21) is transferred and a driving means (24) driven in accordance with the pixel data transferred to the 2nd memory (23) to change the optical transmissivity, the optical reflectance or the polarisation state of the pixel. When displaying an image, first of all, pixel data is stored in the 1st memory (21) of each of all pixels composing the image. Then, the pixel data is transferred from the 1st memory (21) to the 2nd memory (23). Finally, the driving means (24) of each of the pixels changes the optical transmissivity, the optical reflectance or the polarisation state of the pixel in accordance with the pixel data transferred to the 2nd memory (23).

    Abstract: A method for inspecting a semiconductor substrate constituting a liquid crystal display by reliably detecting a change in potential due to a failure of a pixel cell driver circuit irrespective of the decreased ratio of the pixel capacitance to the wiring capacitance because of the small size of the display and higher definition. The method comprises a charge retaining step of allowing pixel capacitors connected to pixel switches selected from among all the pixel switches connected to one data line to retain the charge and a detecting step for simultaneously detecting the charge retained by the pixel capacitors at the charge retaining step from the one data line.

    Abstract: Two voltages for scanning a scanning line, i.e., AVD1 below a gate breakdown voltage of a switching element and AVD2 over the gate breakdown voltage are selectively used. After the scanning of a scanning line by the AVD1 is started, a data line is precharged. Thereafter, the scanning voltage is changed to the AVD2. At this change, a voltage corresponding to the precharging voltage is generated in a pixel capacitor. Therefore, even if the AVD2 over the gate breakdown voltage is applied to the pixel switch, it is possible to cause a potential difference not exceeding the breakdown voltage between the terminals of the switching element.
