The gate electrode and the gate line are connected to each other via a through-hole bored in a gate insulation film. Respective configuration components of each organic electro-luminescent element are partially co-used at the time of the line formation, thereby suppressing an increase in the steps, processes, and configuration components. | 06-11-2009 |

20120318337 | Solar Cell - In a conventional solar cell, it has been difficult to ensure a sufficient light absorption and simultaneously to prevent current loss due to the reduction of the moving distance of electrons and holes. As a means for solving this difficulty, a plurality of a p-i-n junctions are stacked through an insulating film and are connected in parallel with each other using through-electrodes. In this case, the through-electrodes and the p-i-n junctions are connected through the p-layer or the n-layer, thereby moving electrons and holes in opposite directions and generating output current. In addition, the i-layer is made thicker than the p-layer and the n-layer in each of the p-i-n junctions, thereby ensuring a sufficient light absorption and simultaneously preventing current loss. | 12-20-2012 |
