Abstract: The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method, a display apparatus and method, and an electronic apparatus in which a driver can be controlled by superposing panel setting data on an image signal. For example, a controller (63) supplies driver control signals to an image processor (61) by serial communications. The image processor (61) stores digital signals input from a video-signal processor (12) in a video memory (14), and reads the digital signals and executes predetermined signal processing as needed, thereby converting the digital signals into video signals having horizontal and vertical blanking periods. At this time, the image processor (61) superposes panel setting data in accordance with the driver control signals from the controller (63) on the vertical blanking periods of the converted video signals.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an insulating substrate; a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix on the insulating substrate; first thin film transistors for individually driving the pixel electrodes; and driving circuits composed of second thin film transistors formed on the insulating substrate. In this semiconductor device, each of the first and second thin film transistors has a bottom-gate structure comprising a gate electrode patterned on the insulating substrate; a gate insulating film covering the gate electrode; and a semiconducting thin film having a channel region and a source/drain region, which is formed on the gate insulating film. Each of the second thin film transistors has a lightly doped region at least between a drain side highly doped region and the channel region.
