Abstract
A photoelectric conversion element includes a semiconductor layer including a pair of p+ regions in which p-type impurities are doped, and a p− region which is disposed between the p+ regions and has a lower p-type impurity concentration than the p+ regions. A gate electrode is formed over the p− region via a gate insulation film, thus, a p-MOS structure is formed. A width of the gate electrode is less than a width of the p− region. A p− region, which is a portion of the p− region and is located immediately below the gate electrode, forms a light receiving layer, and p− regions, which are portions of the p− region and are located away from below the gate electrode, form LDD regions. The photoelectric conversion element is fabricated on the same substrate as a thin-film transistor for a driving circuit, thereby constructing a display device with an input function.
