In at least one embodiment, each of stages connected in cascade includes a first circuit which causes a predetermined section in a corresponding one of the stages to be connected to a low-potential power source, the first circuit being constituted by TFTs, a first type of clock signal being used as a signal which is transferred to an output terminal of each of the stages so as to be outputted as an output signal, a second type of clock signal being used as a signal which drives the first circuit. With the arrangement, it is possible to realize a shift register circuit that is capable of further suppressing a shift phenomenon of a threshold voltage in each of the TFTs.

A wiring substrate of the present invention includes a short ring (SR) formed along a periphery of the substrate, an independent line pattern (e.g., a gate terminal) that is coplanar with and independent of SR, a continuous line pattern (e.g., a storage capacitor stem) that is located closest to the independent line pattern and is coplanar and continuous with SR, and an insulating film covering the independent line pattern and the continuous line pattern. The insulating film includes a first through hole reaching the independent line pattern and a second through hole reaching the continuous line pattern.

An protective film and a resin layer are stacked on an insulation substrate on which a TFT is formed, and after a contact hole is formed in the resin layer, the protective film below the contact hole is etched and removed. A pixel display electrode is allowed to contact a drain electrode at the area of the contact hole; thus, a liquid crystal display is formed. A cut-out section, which communicates with the lower layer is formed in the drain electrode in the area of the contact hole. Upon forming a TFT section island-shape semiconductor layer so as to provide a TFT, a hole section island-shape semiconductor layer is also formed in the area of the contact hole. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display which can avoid the occurrence of a step discontinuity in the pixel display electrode and the subsequent disconnection in the pixel display electrode.

A method for forming a protecting film on the side walls of a semiconductor device, e.g. a semiconductor laser, having an exposed PN junction at the side walls thereof is carried out by the following steps. The semiconductor device is placed on a substrate target made of a protecting film material. Energetic particles are impinged against the substrate target. Particles of the material are emitted from the substrate target and deposited on only the side walls to form the protecting film.

An optical sensor circuit in accordance with the present invention detects, based on a change in the amount of light received when a pointer (P) is placed in a coordinate detection area (2) through which light from a light source (3) passes, coordinates of a position of the pointer (3) in the coordinate detection area (2). A first optical sensor circuit including an optical sensor element (41), which receives a larger amount of light due to its position relative to the light source (3), has a first wire to which a refresh signal (Shield_A) is supplied, the refresh signal (Shield_A) initializing a threshold characteristic that determines light sensitivity of the optical sensor element (41); whereas a second optical sensor circuit including an optical sensor element (42), which receives a smaller amount of light, has a second wire to which a refresh signal (Shield_B) is supplied independently of the refresh signal (Shield_A), the refresh signal (Shield_B) initializing a threshold characteristic of the optical element (42).
