Patent number: 6872978Abstract: In the fabrication of a CMOS-TFT, non-selectively doping (for both of p- and n-type TFTs) and selectively doping (only for the n-type TFT) with p-type impurities (B: boron) are successively performed at very low concentrations to control the threshold voltages (Vthp and Vthn). More specifically, the Id-Vg characteristics of the p- and n-type TFTs are initially negatively shifted. In this state, non-selectively doping is performed positively to shift the p- and n-type TFTs first to adjust the Vthp to a specified value. Selectively doping is then performed positively to shift only the n-type TFT to adjust the Vthn to a specified value. The threshold voltages of the p- and n-type TFTs constructing the CMOS-TFT can be independently and efficiently (with minimum photolithography) controlled with high accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2003Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Fujitsu Display Technologies CorporationInventors: Hongyong Zhang, Makoto Igarashi

Publication number: 20050035934Abstract: In order to reduce the scale of drive ICs and to prevent uneven display in signal line selective drive, in this liquid crystal display device, for each group in which one video output line corresponds to N signal lines, the signal line is switched and connected to the video output line via an analog switch ASW. Thus, the number of the video output lines is reduced to 1/N. Moreover, as to an Lth scan line, for each of the groups, a signal line to which a video signal having its polarity inverted between an L-1th scan line and the Lth scan line is supplied is selected first and a signal line to which a video signal having its polarity not inverted is supplied is selected later. Thus, a video signal in which a polarity is not inverted and no potential change occurs is supplied to the signal line later.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2004Publication date: February 17, 2005Applicant: Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masakatsu Kitani, Masaki Miyatake
