Abstract

An active matrix substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of thin film transistors supported on a substrate and an inorganic insulating layer covering the plurality of thin film transistors. Each thin film transistor includes a gate electrode, an oxide semiconductor layer, a gate insulating layer, a source electrode, and a drain electrode. At least one of the gate insulating layer and the inorganic insulating layer is an insulating layer stack having a multilayer structure including a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer. The insulating layer stack further includes an intermediate layer disposed between the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer, the intermediate layer having a refractive index nC higher than a refractive index nA of the silicon oxide layer and lower than a refractive index nB of the silicon nitride layer.
