Appeal No. 1999-2000
Application 08/859,494
invention relates to an improved liquid crystal display device
utilizing thin film transistors.
The only independent claim, claim 44, is reproduced as
follow:
44. An active matrix assembly comprising:
a transmissive electro-optical device including a
plurality of liquid crystal cells, data signals being supplied
to the plurality of liquid crystal cells through a plurality
of field effect transistors, each of the plurality of field
effect transistors comprising:
a channel region, a source region and a drain region, the
channel region comprising a non-monocrystalline silicon layer
over an insulating transparent substrate;
a gate insulating film in contact with at least the
channel region;
a gate electrode in contact with the gate insulating
film; and
a non-transparent electrode connected to the drain
region, the non-transparent electrode completely overlapping
the channel region.
