  • Patent number: 8294863
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device having a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix includes first and second substrates and a liquid crystal layer held therebetween. Switching elements are arranged in each of the pixels on the first substrate. A first organic insulating film covers signal lines, scan lines and switching elements. Common electrodes are formed in the first organic insulating film on the first substrate. Connection elements are electrically connected to the switching elements through first contact holes formed in the first organic insulating film. A second organic insulating film covers the first organic insulating film and the connection elements. Pixel electrodes having slits are formed on the second organic insulating film electrically connected to the respective connection elements through second contact holes formed in the second organic insulating film.

  • Patent number: 7173681
    Abstract: In an electrode substrate used in a liquid crystal display device, a contact hole for connecting a signal line to a drain electrode of a pixel thin film transistor is provided in a position overlapping a pixel electrode in order to improve yields by reducing a short circuit between adjacent pixel electrodes. With this configuration, the contact hole does not exist at a boundary between the two adjacent pixel electrodes. Accordingly, the pixel electrodes do not suffer an influence of an electrode material remaining at a recess of the contact hole, and a short circuit between the adjacent pixel electrodes can be thereby prevented.

  • Patent number: 6489176
    Abstract: In the manufacturing method of an array substrate for a planar display device, a first pattern is formed on a substrate by correcting in advance the size of the first pattern in view of an amount of deformation of the substrate. Then, the next pattern is formed on the substrate in conformity with the pattern formed in the preceding step.
