Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of display elements arranged in a first and a second direction on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. Each of the display elements includes a transistor formed on the semiconductor substrate; a pixel electrode driven by the drain output of the transistor; and a capacitor for storing the drain output of the transistor. The capacitors each include a diffusion region formed in the surface of the semiconductor substrate and an upper electrode facing with the diffusion region with an insulating film between them. The capacitor diffusion regions of adjacent two display elements arranged in the second direction extend along a border between the two elements and merge with each other at the border.
