Abstract

This invention is intended to provide a technique for improving characteristics of a TFT and realizing a structure of the TFT optimum for driving conditions of a pixel section and a driving circuit by using a small number of photomasks. The TFT includes a first electrode, a first insulating film put between a semiconductor film and the first electrode, a second electrode, and a second insulating film put between the semiconductor film and the second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are overlapped with each other, with a channel formation region of the semiconductor film put between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a constant voltage is always applied to the first electrode.
