Electronic device and electronic apparatus
First Claim
1. An electronic device having at least one pixel, said pixel comprising:
- a first TFT for switching, a second TFT for controlling current and an EL element connected to said second TFT;
wherein an LDD (lightly-doped-drain) region formed in said first TFT does not overlap a gate electrode of said first TFT with a gate insulating film interposed, wherein an LDD region formed in said second TFT partially or entirely overlaps a gate electrode of said second TFT with a gate insulating film interposed.

Abstract
An EL display having high operating performance and reliability is provided. LDD regions 15a through 15d of a switching TFT 201 formed in a pixel are formed such that they do not overlap gate electrodes 19a and 19b to provide a structure which is primarily intended for the reduction of an off-current. An LDD region 22 of a current control TFT 202 is formed such that it partially overlaps a gate electrode 35 to provide a structure which is primarily intended for the prevention of hot carrier injection and the reduction of an off-current. Appropriate TFT structures are thus provided depending on required functions to improve operational performance and reliability.
