Arrangements (e.g., methods) for manufacturing a display device, including
irradiating an amorphous semiconductor film formed on a substrate with an
excimer laser beam to convert the amorphous semiconductor film into a
polycrystalline semiconductor film; and irradiating predetermined areas
of the polycrystalline semiconductor film intermittently with a
continuous wave laser beam while a position of the substrate with respect
to the continuous wave laser beam is scanned, crystal grains larger than
those of the polycrystalline semiconductor film other than the
predetermined areas are formed in each of the predetermined areas locally
in the polycrystalline semiconductor film, wherein first thin film
transistors are formed in the predetermined areas while second thin film
transistors are formed in the polycrystalline semiconductor film other
than the predetermined areas thereof.
