A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel; a plurality of data drivers for applying, to the pixel elements, graduation voltages corresponding to the display data; a gate driver for selecting a pixel element to which a graduation voltage is to be applied; and a liquid crystal control circuit for controlling the data drivers on the basis of a transfer clock. Each data driver includes a reproducing circuit for reproducing the transfer clock input to the data driver such that the deviations between the duties of the display data and the transfer clock input to the data driver and the duties of the display data and the transfer clock output from the data driver become small, and for generating a latch clock, and a latch circuit for latching the display data input to the data driver.

In a data transfer circuit, a hold signal generating circuit generates and outputs a hold signal Hold when transmission data is equal to transmission data one cycle before, and sets a 3-state output buffer for transmission data to high-impedance state, while, in a data reception circuit, when the hold signal Hold is valid, a data reception circuit outputs the reception data held, thereby power consumption in a data bus which is terminated with a terminal resistor is reduced.

Disclosed is a method of forming an element isolation insulating film by STI (shallow trench isolation) method, which permits effectively preventing a concave portion from being formed in an edge of the element isolation insulating film, permits decreasing the number of treating steps, and also permits facilitating the formation of the element isolation insulating film with a high yield. In forming the element isolation insulating film, a groove is formed in a surface region of a semiconductor substrate, followed by forming an insulating film on the entire surface to fill at least the groove. Then, a flattening treatment is applied at least once to remove the insulating film from the substrate surface such that the insulating film is left unremoved only within the groove. In place of a wet etching treatment, a mirror-polishing method is employed for the last flattening treatment.

A liquid crystal display device of the present invention capable of enlarging and displaying to a high picture quality even when display data having a lower resolution than a liquid crystal panel is inputted, is provided with storage element groups every drain line within latches of a liquid crystal driver. A portion of the storage element groups simultaneously captures display data. In doing so, the same liquid crystal apply voltage is outputted from drain lines corresponding to these storage element groups. Storage element groups corresponding to neighboring drain lines then simultaneously capture display data so as to enlarge an image in the horizontal direction. The rate of enlargement can be regulated by changing the number of storage element groups simultaneously capturing display data. A scanning driver then simultaneously selects a plurality of rows with a select voltage being applied to the simultaneously selected rows of pixel elements in the same period so as to enlarge the image in the vertical direction. Enlarged displaying is therefore possible by the liquid crystal driver regulating an output period of the liquid crystal apply voltage even when rows are selected one at a time.

A display drive circuit of the invention has: an initial-color-gamut-apex-coordinate-storing unit capable of storing initial color gamut apex coordinates; a user-target-color-gamut-apex-coordinate-storing unit capable of storing user target color gamut apex coordinates; a saturation-expansion-coefficient-deciding unit for deciding expansion coefficients of saturation data based on the initial and user target color gamut apex coordinates; and an expansion unit for expanding saturations of display data based on the saturation expansion coefficients. The expansion coefficients of saturation data are decided based on the initial and user target color gamut apex coordinates, and saturations of display data are expanded according to the expansion coefficients. Thus, the degree of expanding the saturations can be controlled for each color gamut or each of R, G and B color properties of an LC display panel.

A third insulating film is formed parallel to a semiconductor substrate so as to cover a metal silicide film, the first and second insulating films and fourth and fifth insulating films. Avoid part is provided in the interstice between each adjacent two gates of the memory transistors, and in the interstice between the gate of the selective transistor and the gate of the memory transistor adjacent thereto. A bottom and two sides of each void part are shielded by the second insulating film, and a top of each void part is shielded by the third insulating film.

A memory cell array includes memory strings arranged in a first direction. Word-lines and select gate lines extend in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The select gate line also extends in the second direction. The word-lines have a first line width in the first direction and arranged with a first distance therebetween. The select gate line includes a first interconnection in the first direction, the first interconnection having a second line width larger than the first line width, and a second interconnection extending from an end portion of the first interconnection, the second interconnection having a third line width the same as the first line width. A first word-line adjacent to the select gate line is arranged having a second distance to the second interconnection, the second distance being (4N+1) times the first distance (N being an integer of 1 or more).
