Abstract

An electric-field blocking film is provided between a BL insulation film and BL insulation film of a transistor, and a blocking film includes those three layers. The electric-field blocking film blocks an electric field produced by a drain electrode, a source electrode, and an n + -Si film. Even if misalignment of the drain electrode, the source electrode, and the n + -Si film in each drive transistor varies to make a portion overlying an i-Si film larger, therefore, the electric field at this portion is blocked by the electric-field blocking film, thereby making a variation in characteristic smaller.

Claims (22)

1. A transistor comprising:

a semiconductor film formed above a substrate;

a blocking film formed on the semiconductor film, the blocking film comprising a first insulation film, an electric-field blocking film, and a second insulation film stacked on top of one another in a layer thickness direction; and

a drain electrode and a source electrode formed on the blocking film so as to oppose each other,

wherein the electric-field blocking film overlaps at least a part of the drain electrode in the layer thickness direction when viewed in section with the second insulation film intervening between the electric-field blocking film and the overlapped part of the drain electrode, and

wherein the electric-field blocking film is formed of a conductive material having translucency.

2. The transistor according to claim 1 , wherein each of (i) the overlapped part of the drain electrode and (ii) a part of the source electrode overlaps the electric-field blocking film in the layer thickness direction when viewed in section.

3. The transistor according to claim 1 , further comprising an impurity semiconductor film that electrically connects the drain electrode and the source electrode to the semiconductor film,

wherein the impurity semiconductor film is formed between the electric-field blocking film and each of the drain electrode and the source electrode, and

wherein the electric-field blocking film blocks an electric field formed by the drain electrode, the source electrode, and the impurity semiconductor film.

4. The transistor according to claim 1 , wherein the electric-field blocking film is set to a voltage within a preset range.

5. The transistor according to claim 1 , further comprising a gate electrode to which the electric-field blocking film is connected.

6. The transistor according to claim 1 , wherein the first insulation film and the second insulation film are formed of a same material.

7. A display device comprising:

the transistor as set forth in claim 1 ; and

a light emitting device having a pixel electrode, an opposing electrode, and a luminous layer formed between the pixel electrode and the opposing electrode, wherein the transistor as set forth in claim 1 is connected to the pixel electrode.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the electric-field blocking film is formed of a same material as the pixel electrode.

9. An electronic device comprising the display device as set forth in claim 7 .

10. A display device comprising:

a light emitting device having a pixel electrode, an opposing electrode, and a luminous layer formed between the pixel electrode and the opposing electrode;

the transistor as set forth in claim 1 , the transistor being a drive transistor that drives the light emitting device; and

a switch transistor that selects the light emitting device.
