摘要: Brightness irregularities that develop in a light emitting device due to is persion among pixels in the threshold values of TFTs used for supplying electric current to light emitting devices become obstacles to improved image quality of the light emitting device. As an image signal input to a pixel from a source signal line, a desired electric potential is applied to a gate electrode of a TFT for supplying electric current to an EL device, through a TFT having its gate and drain connected to each other. A voltage equal to the TFT threshold value is produced between the source and the drain of the TFT 105. An electric potential in which the image signal is offset by the amount of the threshold value is therefore applied to the gate electrode of the TFT. Further, TFTs are disposed in close proximity to each other within the pixel, so that dispersions in the TFT characteristics do not easily develop. A desired drain current can thus be supplied to the EL device even if there is dispersion in the threshold values of the TFTs among pixels, because this is offset by the threshold value of the TFT.

摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device characterized by its high-speed operation and high reliability is provided in which a semiconductor layer crystallized by a CW laser is used for an active layer of a TFT. When a semiconductor layer is crystallized by a CW laser, one part is formed of large crystal grains whereas another part is formed of microcrystals due to the width-wise energy density distribution. The former exhibits excellent electric characteristics. The latter has poor electric characteristics because grain boundaries hinder movement of electric charges, and therefore causes inconveniences when used as an active layer of a transistor. Accordingly, circuits are arranged such that a semiconductor layer formed of large crystal grains is used for the active layer of every TFT.

摘要: There is provided a semiconductor device in which fabrication steps can be reduced by constructing a circuit using only TFTs of one conductivity type and in which a voltage amplitude of an output signal can be normally obtained. A capacitance (205) is provided between a gate and a source of a TFT (203) connected to an output node, and a circuit formed of TFTs (201) and (202) has a function to bring a node α into a floating state. When the node α is in the floating state, a potential of the node α is caused higher than VDD by using gate-source capacitance coupling of the TFT (203) through the capacitance (205), thus an output signal having an amplitude of VDD-GND can be normally obtained without causing amplitude attenuation due to the threshold value of the TFT.

摘要: Power consumption is reduced in a driving circuit of a display device capable of handling a low voltage amplitude input signal by employing level shifters that utilize a differential amplifier. The driving circuit is divided into a plurality of units and each unit is provided with a constant current source. In addition to a usual scanning circuit, there is provided a sub-scanning circuit for controlling ON/OFF of the constant current source arranged in each unit. The sub-scanning circuit turns ON only the constant current sources in the unit that is being scanned. A current thus can be supplied efficiently.

摘要: To provide a method of efficiently configuring a circuit requiring high inter-device consistency by using thin-film transistors. A semiconductor layer is formed on a substrate and is patterned into desired shapes to form first semiconductor islands. The first semiconductor islands are uniformly crystallized by laser irradiation within the surface areas thereof. Thereafter, the semiconductor layers are patterned into desired shapes to become active layers of the thin-film transistors layer. Active layers of all of thin-film transistors constituting one unitary circuit are formed of one of the first semiconductor islands in this case. Thus, the TFTs mutually realize high consistency.
