Disclosed is a semiconductor device capable of realizing a reduction in the area of each pixel without degrading noise resistance. A switching transistor (13) and a signal accumulation capacitor (15) are formed on a semiconductor substrate (base semiconductor region) (11) of a first conduction type, on the basis of each unit region for constituting a pixel Px. The switching transistor (13) has a structure in which a source region (13S) and a drain region (13D) of a second conduction type are formed on the semiconductor substrate (11), and a gate electrode (13G) is formed on the region between the source region (13S) and the drain region (13D), with an insulating layer (12a) therebetween. The signal accumulation capacitor (15) has a structure in which high-concentration semiconductor regions (15D) and (15S) of the first conduction type are formed on the semiconductor substrate (11), and an electrode (15G) is formed on the region between the semiconductor regions (15D) and (15S), with an insulating layer (12b) therebetween. A structure may be adopted in which a bias semiconductor region (17) is not provided, and the semiconductor regions (15D) and (15S) are made to serve also as the bias semiconductor region.
摘要:
A voltage to be used for scanning of scanning lines can be changed over between AVD1 which is within a gate withstanding voltage of a switching element and AVD2 higher than the gate withstanding voltage. Within a horizontal blanking period, scanning of the scanning lines is started with AVD1, and then precharging of data lines is performed. Thereafter, the voltage is changed over to AVD2. Since, at this point of time, a potential corresponding to the precharge voltage is generated in a pixel capacitor, even if AVD2 exceeding the withstanding voltage is applied to a pixel switch, a potential difference which does not exceed the withstanding voltage can be produced between terminals of the switching element.
