Abstract

An active matrix substrate includes: scanning lines provided on a transparent substrate having an insulating property; a transparent insulating film formed on the scanning lines and the transparent substrate; signal lines provided on the transparent insulating film so as to cross the scanning lines; pixel electrodes provided in areas surrounded by the scanning lines and signal lines having lateral separation between the pixel electrode and the signal electrode; and switching elements connected to the scanning lines, the signal lines and the pixel electrodes, wherein a light-shielding member is provided within the lateral separation, the light-shielding member being located between the transparent substrate and the transparent insulating film.
