  • Patent number: 5757453
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes: a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines arranged in the form of a matrix; a plurality of transistors each having a gate, a source and a drain, and each disposed at an intersecting point of the lines; a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the drain electrodes of the respective transistors; and a plurality of capacitors formed on the pixel electrodes. The capacitor includes a capacitor electrode, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer and a protective insulating layer. The semiconductor layer of the capacitor is composed of the same material as that of a semiconductor region of the transistor. An etch stop layer is used for protecting a gate insulating layer during etching a protective insulating layer situated above the gate insulating layer. For the etch stop layer, an amorphous silicon layer or a metal layer are used.
