    摘要: According to the invention, mounting area is decreased and yield is improved by decreasing the number of elements, and a memory with less burden on peripheral circuitry and a driving method thereof are provided. The invention comprises a memory cell including a memory element in a region where a bit line and a word line cross with an insulator interposed between them, a column decoder, and a selector including a clocked inverter. An input node of the clocked inverter is connected to the bit line while an output node is connected to a data line. Among a plurality of transistors connected in series which form the clocked inverter, a gate of a P-type transistor of which source or drain is connected to a power source on the high potential side VDD and a gate of an N-type transistor of which source or drain is connected to a power source on the low potential side VSS are connected to the column decoder.

    摘要: When a potential of a power supply line varies according to a flowing current, the gate-source voltage Vgs of a transistor also varies, leading to variations in the constant current between each source follower. In order to solve this problem, a potential Vb of the gate terminal of a transistor as a constant current source is changed in the same manner as a power supply line Vss which is connected to the source terminal of the transistor. Therefore, variations in the constant current are suppressed and variations in the output of the source followers are thus suppressed. In addition, by connecting the circuit having source followers to the output side of a signal line driver circuit, it can be prevented that luminance unevenness of a striped pattern is recognized in a display portion of a semiconductor device.

    摘要: It is an object to provide a display having high visibility and a transflective type liquid crystal display device having a reflection electrode having a concavo-convex structure formed without especially increasing the process. During manufacturing a transflective liquid crystal display device, a reflection electrode of a plurality of irregularly arranged island-like patterns and a transparent electrode of a transparent conductive film are layered in forming an electrode having transparent and reflection electrodes thereby having a concavo-convex form to enhance the scattering ability of light and hence the visibility of display. Furthermore, because the plurality of irregularly arranged island-like patterns can be formed simultaneous with an interconnection, a concavo-convex structure can be formed during the manufacturing process without especially increasing the patterning process only for forming a concavo-convex structure. It is accordingly possible to greatly reduce cost and improve productivity.

    摘要: A driver circuit of a display device, which includes TFTs of a single conductivity type and outputs an output signal with normal amplitude. A pulse is inputted to TFTs 101 and 104 to turn ON the TFTs and a potential of a node α is raised. When the potential of the node α reaches (VDD−VthN), the node α becomes in a floating state. Accordingly, a TFT 105 is turned ON and a potential of an output node is raised as a clock signal becomes High level. On the other hand, a potential of a gate electrode of the TFT 105 is further raised due to an operation of a capacitance means 107 as the potential of the output node is raised, so that the potential of the gate electrode of the TFT 105 becomes higher than (VDD+VthN). Thus, the potential of the output node is raised to VDD without causing a voltage drop due to a threshold voltage of the TFT 105. An output at the subsequent stage is then inputted to a TFT 103 to turn the TFT 103 ON, while the potential of the node α of TFTs 102 and 106 is dropped to turn the TFT 105 OFF. As a result, the potential of the output node becomes Low level.
