Abstract
An electrooptical substrate device has pixel electrodes and pixel-switching TFTs connected thereto, on a substrate. The TFT is a P-channel TFT of an SOI structure that does not have a body contact. Due to this, a transistor is architected in each pixel that is suited to broaden the opening area in each pixel, and having comparatively high performance, thereby enabling bright, high-quality image display.
