  • Patent number: 7588976
    Abstract: A display device able to raise a light resistance of pixel transistors without depending upon a light shielding structure and a method of production of same, wherein an average crystal grain size of a polycrystalline silicon film 111 forming an active layer of the pixel transistors is controlled to be relatively small so as to suppress a photo-leakage current. The smaller the crystal grain size, the larger the included crystal defects. Carriers excited by light irradiation are smoothly captured by a defect level, and an increase of a photo-leakage current is suppressed. On the other hand, the average crystal grain size of the polycrystalline silicon film 111 constituting the peripheral transistors is controlled so as to become relatively large. The larger the crystal grain size, the larger the mobility of the carriers, and the higher the drivability of the peripheral transistors.

  • Patent number: 5708485
    Abstract: To give an electric shield function and an electric contact function to a light shielding film formed on a drive substrate.An active matrix display device includes a drive substrate 1 having pixels 4, an opposed substrate 2 having an opposed electrode 5, and a liquid crystal 3 held in a space defined between the drive substrate 1 and the opposed substrate 2. An upper layer portion of the drive substrate 1 includes pixel electrodes 6 formed individually for the pixels 4. A lower layer portion of the drive substrate 1 includes thin-film transistors 7 for individually driving the pixel electrodes 6, scanning lines 8, and signal lines 9. A light shielding film having conductivity is interposed between the upper layer portion and the lower layer portion, and is divided into mask shielding films 16M and pad shielding films 16P. Each mask shielding film 16M is continuously patterned along each row of the pixels 4 to partially shield at least the corresponding thin-film transistor 7.
