Abstract

A process for manufacturing a light valve device comprises forming a transparent insulating thin film layer on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and forming a single crystal semiconductor thin film on a surface of the transparent insulating thin film layer. A portion of the single crystal semiconductor thin film is then removed and at least one pixel electrode is formed on the transparent insulating thin film layer at a region where the single crystal semiconductor thin film has been removed. A driving unit is then formed in the single crystal semiconductor thin film. Thereafter, a carrier substrate is laminated using an adhesive on the surface of the semiconductor substrate at a region corresponding to the pixel electrode and the driving unit. The semiconductor substrate is then removed to expose a surface of the transparent insulating thin film layer and through-holes and a metal film are formed on the exposed surface thereof. Thereafter, the metal film is removed to form a light shielding layer for covering at least a portion of a region of the transparent insulating thin film layer occupied by the driving unit and to form an electrode pad for connection to the driving uni…
