Patent ID: 7050138

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an active matrix display device wherein said display device has a first substrate provided with a plurality of pixel electrodes and switching thin film transistors for switching said pixel electrodes, and a first electrode comprising a transparent conductive oxide, the method comprising the steps of: forming a semiconductor film over a glass substrate; crystallizing said semiconductor film; patterning the crystallized semiconductor film into a plurality of semiconductor islands; forming a plurality of thin film transistors using said semiconductor islands; forming a driver circuit with said plurality of thin film transistors; forming a passivation film over said driver circuit; forming a second electrode comprising a transparent conductive oxide over said passivation film, said second electrode electrically connected to said driver circuit through a contact hole of said passivation film; attaching said glass substrate provided with said driver circuit to said first substrate so that said second electrode is electrically connected to said first electrode.
