摘要:
A semiconductor display device using a light-emitting element, which can suppress luminance unevenness among pixels due to the potential drop of a wiring, is provided. Power supply lines to which a power supply potential is supplied are electrically connected to each other in a display region where a plurality of pixels are arranged. Further, an interlayer insulating film is formed over a wiring (an auxiliary power supply line) for electrically connecting the power supply lines to each other in the display region and a gate electrode of a transistor included in a pixel; and the power supply lines are formed over the interlayer insulating film which is formed over the auxiliary power supply line and the gate electrode. Furthermore, a wiring (an auxiliary wiring) formed over the interlayer insulating film is electrically or directly connected to the auxiliary power supply line.

An oxide semiconductor layer which is intrinsic or substantially intrinsic and includes a crystalline region in a surface portion of the oxide semiconductor layer is used for the transistors. An intrinsic or substantially intrinsic semiconductor from which an impurity which is to be an electron donor (donor) is removed from an oxide semiconductor and which has a larger energy gap than a silicon semiconductor is used. Electrical characteristics of the transistors can be controlled by controlling the potential of a pair of conductive films which are provided on opposite sides from each other with respect to the oxide semiconductor layer, each with an insulating film arranged therebetween, so that the position of a channel formed in the oxide semiconductor layer is determined.

In the liquid crystal display device, image signals are concurrently supplied to pixels provided in a plurality of rows among pixels arranged in matrix in a pixel portion where input of image signals is controlled by transistors including polycrystalline semiconductors or single crystal semiconductors in channel formation regions. Thus, the image quality of the liquid crystal display device can be improved.

An object is to reduce leakage current and parasitic capacitance of a transistor used for an LSI, a CPU, or a memory. A semiconductor integrated circuit such as an LSI, a CPU, or a memory is manufactured using a thin film transistor in which a channel formation region is formed using an oxide semiconductor which becomes an intrinsic or substantially intrinsic semiconductor by removing impurities which serve as electron donors (donors) from the oxide semiconductor and has larger energy gap than that of a silicon semiconductor. With use of a thin film transistor using a highly purified oxide semiconductor layer with sufficiently reduced hydrogen concentration, a semiconductor device with low power consumption due to leakage current can be realized.

Objects are to provide a display device the power consumption of which is reduced, to provide a self-luminous display device the power consumption of which is reduced and which is capable of long-term use in a dark place. A circuit is formed using a thin film transistor in which a highly-purified oxide semiconductor is used and a pixel can keep a certain state (a state in which a video signal has been written). As a result, even in the case of displaying a still image, stable operation is easily performed. In addition, an operation interval of a driver circuit can be extended, which results in a reduction in power consumption of a display device. Moreover, a light-storing material is used in a pixel portion of a self-luminous display device to store light, whereby the display device can be used in a dark place for a long time.

In a liquid crystal display device, image signals are concurrently supplied to pixels provided in a plurality of rows among pixels arranged in matrix in a pixel portion where input of image signals is controlled by transistors including amorphous semiconductors or microcrystalline semiconductors in channel formation regions. Thus, the frequency of input of image signals to each pixel can be increased without changing the response speed of the transistors or the like included in the liquid crystal display device.
摘要:
Etching of a semiconductor layer including a part over a gate wiring and formation of a contact hole for connection between a pixel electrode and a drain electrode are performed by one-time photolithography step and one-time etching step; thus, the number of photolithography steps is reduced. The exposed part of the gate wiring is covered by an insulating layer, and this insulating layer also functions as a spacer for maintaining a space for a liquid crystal layer. By the reduction in the number of photolithography steps, a liquid crystal display device can be provided at lower cost and higher productivity. Using an oxide semiconductor for the semiconductor layer can realize a liquid crystal display device with low power consumption and high reliability.
