Abstract
An electro-optical device includes a substrate, a data line, and a transistor formed on the substrate and including (i) a semiconductor film having a channel region having a channel length according to one direction, first and second source/drain regions which are formed with the channel region interposed therebetween, and first and second junction regions respectively formed between the first and second source/drain region and the channel region, and (ii) a gate electrode overlapping with the channel region, wherein at least one of the first and second junction regions is formed such that the width thereof is at least partially larger than that of the channel region.
Claims9
An electro-optical device comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a transistor that includes:
- a gate electrode;
- a semiconductor film that includes a first source and a first drain;
- and
- a channel region that is formed between the first source and the first drain, at least a part of a light-shielding film overlapping with the semiconductor film, the light-shielding film having:
- a first portion that extends along a first direction;
- a second portion that protrudes from the first potion along a second direction intersecting the first direction;
- and
- a third portion that protrudes from the first portion along a third direction intersecting the first direction,
- the first portion having a first width along the second direction,
- the second portion having a second width along the first direction,
- the third portion having a third width along the first direction,
- the second portion and the third portion being formed such that the second width is smaller than the third width, and
- the semiconductor film having a first part,
- at least a part of the second portion overlapping with the first part,
- the first part having a fourth width along the first direction,
- the channel region having a fifth width along the first direction, and
- the fourth width being greater than the fifth width.
