Abstract

A TFT is formed on a transparent insulative substrate, and includes a gate electrode, a gate insulating film, a semiconductor film which has a channel portion, source and drain electrodes. An insulating film is formed on the TFT so as to cover at least the drain electrode and the gate insulating film. A transparent electrode is formed on at least part of insulating film except for a portion above the channel portion on the semiconductor film. The transparent electrode is electrically connected to the source electrode via a through hole which is formed on the insulating film at a position of the source electrode.
