  • Patent number: 6624864
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to simplify steps for manufacturing a matrix array substrate by reducing the number of masks being necessary to manufacture and to improve yield ratio of the matrix array substrate. According to the present invention, on a glass substrate, scanning lines, signal lines, a first insulated film, a second insulated film, an unprocessed semiconductor film, an unprocessed channel protective film, unprocessed low resistance semiconductor film, and Mo/Al/Mo laminated film are formed. Then, the source electrodes, the drain electrodes, the signal lines, a semiconductor film, and a low resistance semiconductor film are formed at a time by patterning using a common mask pattern. Display pixel electrodes cover upper surfaces of the source electrodes, the drain electrodes, the semiconductor film, the scanning line pads, and the signal line pads.

  • Patent number: 6337726
    Abstract: A number of pixel regions surrounded by scanning signal lines and display signal lines are defined on an array substrate of a liquid crystal display element. Formed in each pixel region are a display pixel electrode extending in parallel with the display signal lines and two opposite electrodes provided on both sides of the display pixel electrode and extending in parallel with the display pixel electrode. Each of the two opposite electrodes is provided at a predetermined interval from the display pixel electrode. An end of the display pixel electrode is layered over an opposite signal line, thereby constituting a first supplemental capacity, and another end thereof is electrically connected to a switching element. An end of each opposite electrode is electrically connected to an opposite signal line. The display pixel electrode and the opposite electrodes are formed by processing the same conductive layer as that forming the display signal lines.
