Abstract
The invention provides a peripheral drive circuit integrated active matrix LCD device in which thin-film transistors have different characteristics optimized for individual circuits of the active matrix LCD device. A pixel matrix portion includes thin-film transistors, each having offset gate regions 134 and 136 produced in a non-self-alignment manner, an n-channel driver portion includes thin-film transistors, each having lightly-doped regions 128 and 130 produced in a combination of the non-self-alignment manner and a self-alignment manner, and a p-channel driver portion includes thin-film transistors produced in a self-alignment manner. This construction makes it possible to arrange the thin-film transistors having characteristics required by the individual circuits.
