Patent number: 6985195Abstract: A reflection type liquid crystal display is formed by an interlayer insulating film having appropriate unevenness of an inseparable pattern in a picture element region and having a contact hole of a separable pattern on a drain electrode of a TFT is formed by plainly applying a photosensitive insulating resin so that it may dissolve difference in level caused by a gate electrode wiring, source electrode wiring, and the TFT, and conducting exposure and development while changing exposure amount. The exposure of the insulating resin is conducted through divisional exposure in which the inseparable pattern and the separable pattern are arranged on different masks, and the inseparable pattern is exposed by a predetermined exposure amount of 20 to 80% of an exposure amount for the separable pattern.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2000Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Advanced DisplayInventors: Munehito Kumagai, Kazunori Inoue, Keisuke Nakaguchi, Yoshinori Numano

Patent number: 6421102Abstract: Parasitic capacity between Cs lines and source lines forming a pixel section is reduced, whereby characteristic resistant to crosstalk is achieved, aperture ratio is increased, and brightness of LCD is increased. The Cs lines are arranged on the source lines in such a manner as to cover the source lines, and pixel electrodes are arranged and formed on the Cs lines in such a manner as to partially overlap. By forming a structure in which the source lines, the Cs lines and the pixel electrodes are laminated in order, parasitic capacity between the Cs lines and the source lines forming a pixel section can be reduced, and crosstalk can be minimized. As a distance between the source lines and the pixel electrodes can be reduced from the viewpoint of a plan view, aperture ratio can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2001Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Advanced DisplayInventors: Akio Nakayama, Yoshinori Numano
