The present invention provides a display device which can display characters clearly and display images smoothly. An area gray scale method is adopted and a configuration of one pixel is changed depending on a mode, by selecting one or more display regions in each pixel. When characters are needed to be displayed clearly, one pixel is configured by selecting a stripe arrangement. Thus, clear display can be conducted. When images are needed to be displayed, one pixel is configured by selecting an indented state. Thus, smooth display can be conducted.

To provide a display device whose display can be recognized even in dark places or under the strong outside light. The display device performs display by controlling the number of gray scales in accordance with the intensity of outside light, which means a display mode can be switched in accordance with the data to be displayed on the display screen. A video signal generation circuit is controlled in each display mode in such a manner that it directly outputs an input video signal with an analog value, outputs a signal with a binary digital value, or outputs a signal with a multivalued digital value. As a result, gray scales displayed in pixels are timely changed. Accordingly, clear images can be displayed while maintaining high visibility in various environments, in the wide range from, for example, dark places or indoors (e.g., under a fluorescent lighting) to outdoors (e.g., under the sunlight).

The present invention provides structures and methods for providing multiple parallel V-shaped faceted grooves with sub-lithographic widths on a semiconductor substrate for enhanced performance MOSFETs. A self-aligning self-assembling material is used to pattern multiple parallel sub-lithographic lines. By employing an anisotropic etch that produces crystallographic facets on a semiconductor surface, multiple adjoining parallel V-shaped grooves with sub-lithographic groove widths are formed. While providing enhanced mobility for the MOSFET, the width of the MOSFET is not limited by the depth of focus in subsequent lithographic steps or the thickness of semiconductor layer above a BOX layer due to the sub-lithographic widths of the V-shaped grooves and the consequent reduction in the variation of the vertical profile. Also, the MOSFET has a well defined threshold voltage due to the narrow widths of each facet.
