Abstract:
A method of fabricating a display, including the steps of forming a thin film transistor for a driving a pixel electrode on a substrate and forming a conductive shield layer at a position over the thin film transistor and under the pixel electrode, said method comprising:a first planarization step of forming a first planarization film to bury an irregular contour of the thin film transistor; a first processing step of forming the shield layer on the first planarization film; a second planarization step of forming a second planarization film to bury steps of the shield layer; and a second processing step of forming the pixel electrode on the second planarization film, and further comprising: a terminal region forming step of forming a terminal region for electrical connection and forming, in the terminal region, a contact-hole portion opened in the first planarization film and a flat surface portion surrounding the contact-hole portion; wherein said first processing step comprises the step of connecting a metal conductive layer constituting the shield layer to an underlying interconnection via the contact-hole portion; and said second processing step comprises the step of joining a transparent conductive layer constituting the pixel electrode to the metal conductive layer on the flat surface portion from which the second planarization film is removed.
