The cost of a light-emitting element matrix array is reduced by implementing a function equivalent to a light-emitting thyristor by elements different therefrom. A plurality of combinational element are arrayed in one line. The plurality of combinational elements are divided into groups n by n. The bases of transistors included in each group are separately connected to base-selecting lines and the anodes of light-emitting diodes included in each group are commonly connected to one anode terminal every group.

A method for setting the amount of light in an array of light-emitting thyristors, each thyristor having I-L characteristic in which a luminous efficiency is decreased in a lower current field, is provided. According to the method, the amount of light emitted from a light-emitting thyristor is set so that a predetermined exposure energy may be obtained without decreasing a luminous efficiency of a light-emitting thyristor. The density D of a current to be supplied to the light-emitting thyristor to obtain a predetermined exposure energy is selected so as to satisfy the range of 3×Dth

A method of designing an optimum mask pattern for forming a metal line by an etching process, the metal line also effectively serving as a light-shielding layer, is provided. In this method, assuming that a mask pattern for forming a first metal line on a transparent insulating film has a width of “L1” overlapped with a first control electrode in a direction perpendicular to an array direction of of transfer elements, “L1” is selected so as to satisfy the following relation L1>(S+dS)+a, wherein “S” is the distance of side etching of the first metal line, “dS” is the dispersion of the distance of the side etching, and “a” is the misalignment of the mask pattern.

A surface light-emitting element having improved external light emission efficiency and a self-scanning light-emitting device using this surface light-emitting element are provided. To improve external light-emission efficiency, the light-emitting center is shifted to an area where there is no light shielding layer thereon. When the surface light-emitting element is a surface light-emitting thyristor of the PNPN structure, it is necessary to have such a construction that part of the injected current is prevented from flowing toward the gate electrode to improve external light emission efficiency. The self-scanning light-emitting device of this invention is accomplished by using this type of surface light-emitting element.

A surface light-emitting element having improved external light emission efficiency and a self-scanning light-emitting device using this surface light-emitting element are provided. To improve external light-emission efficiency, the light-emitting center is shifted to an area where there is no light shielding layer thereon. To achieve this, an insulating layer is provided on the electrode portion above which there is a light-shielding layer at a portion making contact with the semiconductor layer thereunder so as to prevent the injected current from flowing from that electrode portion. To increase the amount of light emission, the peripheral length of the electrode is increased. With an electrode of the same area, the larger the peripheral length, the larger becomes the amount of light emission because the current injected from the electrode is distributed evenly over the entire surface, causing light to emit evenly. When the surface light-emitting element is a surface light-emitting thyristor of the PNPN structure, it is necessary to have such a construction that part of the injected current is prevented from flowing toward the gate electrode to improve external light emission efficiency. The self-scanning light-emitting device of this invention is accomplished by using this type of surface light-emitting element.

A process of manufacture has the steps of forming a metal film on the insulating substrate, applying photoresist on the metal film, exposing the photoresist to light to form a photoresist pattern by developing, etching the metal film with the photoresist pattern as an etching mask, forming an insulating film on the insulating substrate by making the insulating substrate with the photoresist pattern contact a liquid-phase deposition treatment liquid, and removing the photoresist pattern or the combination of the photoresist pattern and the insulating film thereon. Through these steps, the metal film for use as the metal wiring to effect contact with the electrode of the TFT is buried in the surface of the insulating substrate. Consequently, the resistance of the metal wiring can greatly be reduced. Thereby, it is produced a thin film transistor capable of rendering an large area, large capacity display possible and free from a difference in level.

A self-scanning light-emitting device is provided in which the amounts of light of light-emitting elements may be corrected to make the distribution of amounts of light in a luminescent chip or among luminescent chips uniform. The correction for amounts of light of light-emitting elements may be carried out by regulating the time duration of on-state of a light-emitting element or the voltage of a write signal applied to a light-emitting element. According to the present invention, the distribution of amounts of light becomes uniform, so that the printing quality of a printer using such self-scanning light-emitting device is improved.
