A photoelectric conversion element includes a semiconductor layer
including a pair of p.sup.+ regions in which p-type impurities are doped,
and a p.sup.- region which is disposed between the p.sup.+ regions and
has a lower p-type impurity concentration than the p.sup.+ regions. A
gate electrode is formed over the p.sup.- 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.sup.- region. A p.sup.- region, which is a
portion of the p.sup.- region and is located immediately below the gate
electrode, forms a light receiving layer, and p.sup.- regions, which are
portions of the p.sup.- 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.
