  • Patent number: 8575611
    Abstract: In the light-emitting display device according to the present invention, a side-contact structure is adopted in order to secure a TFT characteristic in a linear region (on-current). In a TFT configuring a switching transistor, a thickness of a semiconductor layer (channel layer) in a region corresponding to the source/drain electrodes is increased. In contrast, in a TFT configuring a driving transistor, in order to maintain an on current, a thickness of a semiconductor layer (channel layer) in a region corresponding to the source/drain electrodes is reduced. This configuration is manufactured using a half-tone mask. With this, it is possible to suppress the off-current in the switching transistor, while securing the on-current in the driving transistor.
