Abstract
A liquid crystal display device in which electrolytic corrosion is prevented from occurring at the intersections of gate lines and drain lines or in a lead terminal portion over an active matrix substrate. In the liquid crystal display device, each interconnection of a gate line and a drain line over the active matrix substrate is formed to have the gate line, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, a contact layer, the drain line and a passivation layer all stacked in that order from the active matrix substrate, and a capping layer, which is made of the same ITO layer as a pixel electrode layer, is formed over the passivation layer at the intersection of the gate line and the drain line over the active matrix substrate.
