Abstract

This invention is characterized by providing light shield patterning on a TFT substrate for an active matrix type liquid crystal display device. A liquid crystal display device comprising an active matrix circuit using a TFT having a top gate-type structure. The light-shield film are formed under a semiconductor layer and superposed at least one of the source bus line and the gate bus line. A capacitance is formed by the light-shield film and at least a part of the semiconductor layer with an insulating layer interposed therebetween.
