ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,477,781, issued on Nov. 18, was assigned to Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co. Ltd. (Atsugi, Japan).
"Semiconductor device and method for manufacturing the same" was invented by Hidekazu Miyairi (Kanagawa, Japan), Takeshi Osada (Kanagawa, Japan) and Shunpei Yamazaki (Tokyo).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "As a display device has a higher definition, the number of pixels, gate lines, and signal lines are increased. When the number of the gate lines and the signal lines are increased, a problem of higher manufacturing cost, because it is difficult to mount an IC chip including a driver circuit for driving of the gate and signal lines by bon...
