Patent number: 7727784Abstract: The present invention provides a display device which forms thin film transistor circuits differing in characteristics from each other on a substrate in mixture and a fabrication method of the display device. On a glass substrate having a background layer which is formed by stacking an SiN film and an SiO2 film, a precursor film which is constituted of an a-Si layer or a fine particle crystalline p-Si layer is formed and the implantation is applied to the precursor film.
