Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to form both LTPS TFT and semiconductor TFT in a same substrate. The feature of the display device to realize the above purpose is that: a display device having a display area containing a pixel comprising: the pixel includes a first TFT having an oxide semiconductor, a gate insulating film is formed on the oxide semiconductor, a first gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film, a first source/drain electrode formed by a metal or an alloy contacts a source or a drain of the semiconductor the first gate electrode and the first source/drain electrode are formed by the same material.

Claims (24)

1. A display device having a display area containing a pixel comprising:

the pixel includes a first TFT having an oxide semiconductor,

a gate insulating film is formed on the oxide semiconductor, a first gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film,

a first source/drain electrode formed by a metal or an alloy in contact with a source or a drain of the semiconductor,

a first insulating film is formed to cover the oxide semiconductor, the gate electrode, and the first source/drain electrode, and a first through hole is formed in the first insulating film, and on the first source/drain electrode,

a second source/drain electrode connects with the first source/drain electrode through the first through hole formed in the first insulating film, wherein

the first source/drain electrode exists at a bottom of the first through hole formed in the first insulating film.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the gate insulating film is formed in island shape to cover a channel of the first TFT, the gate insulating film does not exist between the first source/drain electrode and the oxide semiconductor.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,
