ELECTRO-OPTIC DEVICE HAVING PAIRS OF COMPLEMENTARY TRANSISTORS

摘要

A novel structure of an active electro-optic device is disclosed. The device is provided with a pair of complementary transistors therein which comprise a p-channel TFT and an n-channel TFT. In the case of a liquid crystal electro-optic device, the device comprises a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal provided therebetween, picture element electrode areas arranged in a matrix form and provided on one of the substrates, complementary transistors provided thereon, and signal lines provided thereon. Gate electrodes of p-channel and n-channel transistors of these complementary transistors are connected to some of the signal lines while source (or drain) electrodes thereof are connected to the electrode areas and drain (or source) electrodes thereof are connected to other signal lines.
