  • Publication number: 20220271066
    Abstract: A transistor array substrate includes a scan line formed on a support substrate, a capacitive section formed above the scan line, and a thin film transistor formed above the capacitive section, in which a perimeter of the thin film transistor is surrounded by a wall-shaped horizontal light-blocking film that extends in a normal direction with respect to the support substrate and is in contact with a surface of an electrode that is an uppermost layer of the capacitive section, and an upper light-blocking film is formed above the thin film transistor.

  • Patent number: 10241370
    Abstract: A semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: a first substrate; a TFT element provided on the first substrate with a first interlayer insulating layer interposed therebetween, and including a semiconductor layer and a gate electrode that is provided on the semiconductor layer with a gate insulating layer interposed therebetween; and a second substrate disposed to face the first substrate. The gate electrode includes a first electroconductive film and a second electroconductive film that has a light-shielding property in order from side of the semiconductor layer. The second electroconductive film extends from a side face to a bottom face of each of a pair of openings that are provided to interpose the semiconductor layer.
