Abstract:
An image display system comprises a first liquid crystal projector which projects a counterclockwise-rotating, circularly polarized light beam to form an image containing specific visual information on a screen and a second liquid crystal projector which projects a clockwise-rotating, circularly polarized light beam to form a white image on the same screen. When viewed with the naked eye, a combination of the two images projected on the screen appears totally white. A viewer wearing a dedicated viewing device equipped with an optical filter which allows counterclockwise-rotating, circularly polarized light to pass through can selectively see the image projected by the first liquid crystal projector.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to realize a semiconductor device having a high TFT characteristic. In manufacturing an active matrix display device, electric resistivity of the electrode material is kept low by preventing penetration of oxygen ion into the electrode in doping of an impurity ion. A display device having a low electric resistivity can be obtained.

A light emitting device having a plastic substrate is capable of preventing the substrate from deterioration with the transmission of oxygen or moisture content can be obtained. The light emitting device has light emitting elements formed between a lamination layer and an inorganic compound layer that transmits visual light, where the lamination layer is constructed of one unit or two or more units, and each unit is a laminated structure of a metal layer and an organic compound layer. Alternatively, the light emitting device has light emitting elements formed between a lamination layer and an inorganic compound layer that transmits visual light, where the lamination layer is constructed of one unit or two or more units, and each unit is a laminated structure of a metal layer and an organic compound layer, wherein the inorganic compound layer is formed so as to cover the end face of the lamination layer. In the present invention, the lamination layer is formed on the primary surface of the plastic substrate, so that a flexible substrate structure can be obtained while preventing the substrate from deterioration with the transmission of oxygen or moisture content.

Abstract:
To provide a light emitting device having a highly definite pixel portion. An anode (102) and a bank (104) orthogonal to the anode (102) are formed on an insulator (101). A portion of the bank (104) (controlling bank 104b) is made of a metal film. By applying a voltage thereto, an electric field is formed, and a track of an EL material that is charged with an electric charge can be controlled. Thus, it becomes possible to control a film deposition position of an EL layer with precision by utilizing the above method.
Abstract:
Not all of light generated in the light emitting layer comprising the organic material are taken out in the desirable direction. For example, light emitted in the lateral direction (the direction parallel to the substrate face) is not taken out and therefore is a loss. An object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting device structured so as to increase the amount of light which is taken out in a certain direction after emitted from a light emitting element, as well as a method of manufacturing this light emitting device. In the present invention, an upper end portion of an insulating material 19 that covers an end portion of a first electrode 18 is formed to have a curved surface having a radius of curvature, a second electrode 23a is formed to have a slant face as going from its center portion toward its end portion along the curved surface. Light emitted from a light emitting layer comprising an organic material 20 that is formed on the second electrode 23a is reflected at the slant face of the second electrode 23a to increase the total amount of light taken out in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1A.
Abstract:
In order to increase an aperture ratio, a part of or all of a gate electrode that overlaps with channel formation regions (213, 214) of a pixel TFT is caused to overlap with second wirings (source line or drain line) (154, 157). Additionally, a first interlayer insulating film (149) and a second interlayer insulating film (150c) are disposed between the gate electrode and the second wirings (154, 157) so as to decrease a parasitic capacitance.

Abstract:
To provide an active matrix type liquid crystal display device having fine display performance, an interlayer insulating film 104 covering TFTs 102, 103 formed on a substrate 101 is first flattened by mechanical polishing typified by a CMP. Then pixel electrodes 106, 107 are formed thereon, and further, an insulating layer 108 covering the pixel electrodes is formed. And then, the insulating layer 108 is flattened by second mechanical polishing so that the surfaces of the pixel electrodes and the surface of the insulating layers 112, 113 form the same plane. By this, a difference in level disappears, and it is possible to prevent lowering of contrast or the like due to poor orientation of a liquid crystal material, diffused reflection of light, and the like.
Abstract:
A light emitting device having a high definition, a high aperture ratio and a high reliability is provided. The present invention realizes a high definition and a high aperture ratio for a flat panel display of full colors using luminescent colors of red, green and blue without being dependent upon the film formation method and deposition precision of an organic compound layer by forming the laminated sections 21, 22 by means of intentionally and partially overlapping different organic compound layers of adjacent light emitting elements. Moreover, the protective film 32a containing hydrogen is formed and the drawback in the organic compound layer is terminated with hydrogen, thereby realizing the enhancement of the brightness and the reliability.
