    摘要: First, a gate metal layer, a gate insulating film, a semiconductor layer, an n-type semiconductor layer, and an ohmic metal layer formed on a substrate in the order mentioned. Then, the film and the layers are patterned into those having the same shape and size. Next, a source metal layer and a drain metal layer are formed on the ohmic metal layer. Further, a portion of the ohmic metal layer, a portion of said source metal layer, and a portion of said drain metal layer are etched, thereby forming a channel portion. Finally, a transparent electrode is formed on the source metal layer, thus manufacturing a TFT. Since the film and the layer, the major components of the TFT, are sequentially formed, and are patterned simultaneously, the TFT can be manufacture with high yield. Further, since the transparent electrode is formed on the uppermost layer, i.e., the source metal layer, the pixel has a great opening ratio.

    摘要: A TFT array has a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of drain lines formed on a transparent insulating substrate. The gate lines intersect with the drain lines. TFTs are formed at the intersections of the gate lines and the drain lines. An opaque film is formed above the gate lines, the drain lines, and the TFTs, allowing no passage of light passing through the gaps between the transparent electrode, on the one hand, and the gate and drain lines, on the other hand. Therefore, when the TFT array is incorporated into a liquid-crystal display, the display will display high-contrast images.

    摘要: An inhibitor switch is disclosed, including a permanent magnet and a magnetic sensor which detects a magnetic force of the permanent magnet in a non-contacting state and outputs a linear change in a voltage value in response to a change in a relative position between the permanent magnet and the magnetic sensor. One of the permanent magnet and the magnetic sensor is mounted on a manual valve shaft side for changing over change gear range positions of an automatic transmission by operating a manual valve of the automatic transmission in an interlocking manner with the manual valve shaft. The other one of the permanent magnet and the magnetic sensor is mounted on a transmission case side of the automatic transmission. The change gear range position of the automatic transmission is detectable in response to an output of the voltage value corresponding to the change gear range position.
