Abstract:
A liquid crystal device, comprising:a pair of substrates including a first substrate and a second substrate; a plurality of pixel electrodes arrayed in a matrix on said second substrate; a liquid crystal held between said pair of substrates; a plurality of thin film transistors, each transistor connected to in correspondence with said pixel electrodes; a plurality of data lines and plurality of scanning lines; a plurality of capacitance lines arrayed along with said plurality of scanning lines, each capacitance line extending in a direction intersecting with said plurality of data lines and providing a storage capacitor to said plurality of pixel electrodes; a plurality of light-shielding films, each light-shielding film extending in a direction intersecting with said plurality of data lines, and being provided at positions covering at least a channel area of said plurality of thin film transistors when viewed from a second substrate side and at least partially facing said plurality of capacitance lines, each light-shielding film being electrically connected to said plurality of capacitance lines for every pixel or plurality of pixels in a direction intersecting to said plurality of data lines; and a first inter-layer insulating film provided between said capacitance lines and said plurality of light-shielding films, wherein said plurality of capacitance lines and said plurality of light-shielding films are each electrically connected via contact holes opened in said first-interlayer insulating film at positions overlapping said data lines on a plane.
