Abstract: An array substrate 20 is provided with a main array substrate body 21, and wiring lines 51 (42) including thin film transistors 50 formed on one panel surface 22 of the main array substrate body. In the surface 23 of the main array substrate body on the side opposite to the panel surface 22 having the wiring lines formed thereon, a plurality of concavities 25 recessed from the surface of the main array substrate body are formed.

Abstract: Provided is an array substrate for liquid crystal panel that is capable of suppressing an occurrence of short circuits between a pair of substrates having liquid crystal sealed therebetween. In this array substrate for liquid crystal panel 12, a thin film transistor 30 is formed so as to have a multilayer structure that includes at least a gate electrode 32, a source electrode 36, and a drain electrode 37. In at least a portion of a thin film transistor formation portion, a substrate main body (glass substrate) 12of the array substrate 12 has a recessed portion 33 that is recessed from an area surrounding the thin film transistor formation portion. One of the gate electrode, the source electrode, and the drain electrode is formed such that at least a portion thereof is embedded in the recessed portion.

Abstract: Disclosed is an array substrate (12) for liquid crystal panel, in which a thin film transistor (30) has a multi-layered structure including a gate electrode (32), an insulating layer (34), a semiconductor layer (35), a source electrode (36), and a drain electrode (37), which are disposed over a substrate main body (12a). Respective portions of the gate electrode (32) located under the source electrode (36) and the drain electrode (37) are formed as recessed portions (33a and 33b), which concave in from the surrounding portion, and the source electrode (36) and the drain electrode (37) are respectively formed above the recessed portions (33a and 33b).

Abstract: Provided is a display panel substrate which facilitates positioning of an opposite substrate when the display panel substrate and the opposite substrate are bonded.
