Abstract: An electro-optical device having six image signal lines that are third layer leads comprising the same layer as data lines. A lead which is branched from one image signal line and crosses the other image signal lines is a parallel connection of a first layer lead and a second layer lead. The first layer lead comprises the same layer as the scanning lines in a display region and the second layer lead comprises the same layer as a barrier film of a thin film transistor (TFT) in the display region. Although the first and second layer leads have high resistance alone, the parallel connection can reduce resistance. In other portions, the second layer lead is used alone to improve the design versatility. Thus, the design versatility of peripheral circuits such as a sampling circuit in an electro-optical device is improved and the lead resistance in the peripheral circuit is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for managing load and store operations necessary for reading from and writing to memory or I/O in a superscalar RISC architecture environment. To perform this task, a load store unit is provided whose main purpose is to make load requests out of order whenever possible to get the load data back for use by an instruction execution unit as quickly as possible. A load operation can only be performed out of order if there are no address collisions and no write pendings. An address collision occurs when a read is requested at a memory location where an older instruction will be writing. Write pending refers to the case where an older instruction requests a store operation, but the store address has not yet been calculated. The data cache unit returns 8 bytes of unaligned data. The load/store unit aligns this data properly before it is returned to the instruction execution unit.
