Photoelectric conversion element and display device including the same

摘要

A photoelectric conversion element includes a semiconductor layer including a pair of p⁺ regions in which p-type impurities are doped, and a p^- region which is disposed between the p⁺ regions and has a lower p-type impurity concentration than the p⁺ regions. A gate electrode is formed over the p^- region via a gate insulation film, thus, a p-MOS structure is formed. A width of the gate electrode is less than a width of the p^- region. A p^- region, which is a portion of the p^- region and is located immediately below the gate electrode, forms a light receiving layer, and p^- regions, which are portions of the p^- region and are located away from below the gate electrode, form LDD regions. The photoelectric conversion element is fabricated on the same substrate as a thin-film transistor for a driving circuit, thereby constructing a display device with an input function.
