Claim Text:
1. An active matrix substrate, comprising, on an insulating substrate, switching elements and pixel electrodes in a matrix manner, the pixel electrodes being connected to the switching elements, the pixel electrodes being provided in a matrix manner in a display area of the insulating substrate, a frame area being provided so as to surround the display area, the frame area including a drive circuit configured to drive the switching elements, the drive circuit including a plurality of circuit sections including respective drive elements, the frame area including, on the insulating substrate, a first line and a second line, provided sequentially, configured to supply signals to the drive elements, the first line including a portion that extends in a direction different from a direction in which the second line extends and the second line being electrically connected to a clock wire, which is configured to supply a clock signal, such that the clock signal is supplied to a corresponding one of the plurality of circuit sections, a first insulating layer being provided between the first line and the second line, a second insulating layer being provided so as to cover the first insulating layer and at least one of the first line and the second line, in a connecting section in which the first line and the second line are connected to each other, the first insulating laser includes two second contact holes in the connecting section, the first line and the second line are electrically connected to each other via a connecting conductor disposed in the first contact hole and the two second contact holes, the connecting conductor and the first line are electrically connected to each other in each of the two second contact holes, and the connecting conductor and the second line are electrically connected to each other in the first contact hole.
