Abstract:
A thin-film transistor array includes thin-film transistors each including an insulating substrate which is formed with a gate electrode, a gate wiring, a capacitor electrode and a capacitor wiring. A source electrode and a drain electrode having a gap therebetween and including a semiconductor pattern are formed, in a region overlapping with the gate electrode on the substrate via a gate insulator, with the semiconductor pattern being covered with a protective layer. Two such TFTs are independently formed for each pixel. In each pixel, two source electrodes are separately connected to two respective source wirings, and two drain electrodes are connected to an electrode of the pixel via individual drain-connecting electrodes. The array includes source-connecting electrodes each connecting between the source electrodes of the two TFTs formed for each pixel. The same drive waveform is applied to the two source wirings.
