A flat-panel display device includes a display panel having a plurality of pixels arrayed in a matrix, the pixels in each row forming one horizontal pixel array, first to eighth driver sections arranged in series to divide pixels in each horizontal pixel array into eight pixel blocks, for driving the pixel blocks, respectively, first and second data supply buses each connected to at least one of the driver sections, and a liquid crystal controller for distributing pixel data sequentially supplied from outside to the first and second data supply buses. In particular, the liquid crystal controller includes a data distributing circuit having a plurality of memories each of which stores items of pixel data for one pixel block and is capable of reading from one area while writing to another area, a total memory capacity of the memories being smaller than a memory capacity required for storing all items of pixel data for one horizontal pixel array, and a sequence controller for performing a control of dividing pixel data items sequentially supplied from outside into pixel-data blocks each consisting of the same number of pixel data items, equivalent to the number of pixels forming one pixel block, sequentially writing two pixel-data blocks in two memories, reading two pixel-data blocks stored in the two memories in parallel while writing is performed, and supplying the two pixel-data blocks to corresponding ones of the first and second data supply buses.

It is possible to reduce resistance variations of a member connecting a through-silicon via to a line and improve wiring reliability. A hole through which the through-silicon via is to be stretched is created and an over-etching process is carried out on a wiring layer including the line. Then, by embedding copper in the hole, the through-silicon via made of the copper can be created. After the through-silicon via has been connected to the line made of aluminum through the member which is a connection area, the connection area is alloyed in a thermal treatment in order to electrically connect the through-silicon via to the line. Thus, it is possible to reduce variations of a resistance between the through-silicon via and the line and also improve wiring reliability as well. The present technology can be applied to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device.

A signal line driver is used for a liquid crystal display device including a matrix array of 230.times.720 pixels arranged in a predetermined color order for each row, 230 scanning lines for selecting the row of the pixels, and 720 signal lines for setting the potentials of the pixels of the selected row. The signal line driver has three bus lines for receiving color video signals of three primary colors. Particularly, the signal line driver includes 721 sample-hold circuits divided into a plurality of groups and connected to the bus lines based on the color order of the pixels on a corresponding row, for sequentially sampling and holding the color video signals on the bus lines, 720 selection switches for selecting one of the groups of the sample-hold circuits according to the selected row of the pixels and allocating output voltages of the sample-hold circuits of the selected group to the 720 signal lines, and a control circuit for controlling the sample-hold circuits and the selection switches each time the selected row of the pixels is updated.

A display control apparatus includes an X-driver for sequentially obtaining the horizontal picture signals from a PAL video signal, and supplying the obtained signal to each of the horizontal pixel lines of an NTSC liquid crystal display panel, and a Y-driver for sequentially selecting the horizontal pixel lines, in a preset number every time the X-driver supplies a horizontal picture signal to each of the horizontal pixel lines. In particular, the Y-driver includes logic gate circuit for updating the preset number on the basis of a selection pattern in which at least first and second numbers of horizontal picture lines are determined as selection units of lines to be selected at one time, the selection units are combined at a predetermined ratio, and the combination of the selection units is repeated for each predetermined number of the horizontal picture signals, thereby assigning the horizontal pixel lines to almost all the horizontal picture signals.
