A liquid crystal cell comprises a liquid crystal sealed between a pair of confronting transparent substrates. A multiplicity of semiconductor driver elements are substantially uniformly distributed over an inner surface of one of the substrates. The semiconductor driver elements have output electrodes connected respectively to matrix element electrodes formed on the inner surface of said one of the substrates. A driver circuit is formed as a semiconductor integrated circuit on an extension of the inner surface of said one of the substrates for selectively driving the semiconductor driver elements.

A liquid crystal cell comprises a liquid crystal sealed between a pair of confronting transparent substrates. A multiplicity of semiconductor driver elements are substantially uniformly distributed over an inner surface of one of the substrates. The semiconductor driver elements have output electrodes connected respectively to matrix element electrodes formed on the inner surface of said one of the substrates. A driver circuit is formed as a semiconductor integrated circuit on an extension of the inner surface of said one of the substrates for selectively driving the semiconductor driver elements. The driver circuit comprises a plurality of thin-film transistors each of which includes a semiconductor layer which has enhanced carrier mobility achieved through annealing.

An active matrix liquid crystal display device has a plurality of display electrodes arranged in a matrix array and selectable through control of thin film transistors for application of voltage between selected display electrodes and a common electrode to obtain image display. Each thin film transistor has a semiconductive layer and a gate insulating film both formed to have the same pattern. Each thin film transistor has a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film with the edges of the gate electrode inwardly spaced apart from the corresponding edges of the gate insulating film. The semiconductor layer and gate insulating film have extensions extending under a corresponding gate bus.

An array of thin film transistors is fabricated by forming a plurality of spaced closely adjacent metallic source and drain electrodes on an array area of a transparent substrate, forming semiconductor layers on the substrate between each adjacent pair of source and drain electrodes in overlapping relation to the edges of each such pair, covering the semiconductor layers with a gate insulation film that extends over substantially all of said array area, forming a transparent gate electrode layer over the gate insulation film, covering the transparent gate electrode layer with a photosensitive resin layer which is then exposed to light through the transparent substrate and transparent gate electrode layer with the metallic source and drain electrodes acting as masks, developing the photosensitive resin layer to remove portions thereof other than the exposed portions, and etching the transparent gate electrode with the remaining portions of the resin layer serving as masks thereby to form the gate electrodes of the thin film transistors in the array.

A liquid crystal display element which is composed of a TN liquid crystal cell containing nematic liquid crystal of positive dielectric anisotropy and an N type dye having the same long molecular axes as the liquid crystal and polarizing plates respectively disposed opposite both side plates of the liquid crystal cell. The polarizing plates each have the direction of polarization substantially parallel to the orientation of molecules of the liquid crystal near the side plate of the liquid crystal which each polarizing plate confronts, and one of the polarizing plates is a color polarizing plate.

A condenser microphone in which a back electrode, disposed oppositely to the rear surface of a diaphragm, and a circuit assembling plate disposed oppositely to the rear surface of the back electrode, are held in a holder. Electronic circuit elements are attached to only one surface of the circuit assembling plate, and the other surface thereof is faced toward the rear surface of the back electrode with a predetermined distance provided therebetween. A back chamber, defined by a space between the back electrode and the circuit assembling plate, and enclosed by the holder improves the characteristics of microphone frequency response.

A high molecular film for polarization is disposed on an electrode plate with an intermediate high molecular film sandwiched therebetween to form a laminated member, the intermediate high molecular film having a lower melting point than the high molecular film for polarization. The laminated member is heated at a temperature in the vicinity of the melting point of the intermediate high molecular film to fusion-weld the high molecular film for polarization to the electrode plate through the intermediate high molecular film, and then the high molecular film for polarization is polarized.
