Abstract:
An active matrix type liquid crystal display device comprising:(a) a transparent substrate; (b) a plurality of scanning lines formed on said transparent substrate; (c) a plurality of signal lines formed on said transparent substrate perpendicularly to the scanning lines; (d) a transparent electrode arranged in a pixel area defined by said scanning and signal lines; and (e) a thin film transistor formed in association with said transparent electrode, wherein said thin film transistor is formed in an area at which one of said scanning lines and one of said signal lines intersect with each other, wherein said thin film transistor includes source and drain regions both comprised of an electrically conductive film of which said signal lines are comprised, and wherein each of said scanning lines has a portion having a decreased width in said area at which one of said scanning lines and one of said signal lines intersect with each other, said portion acting as a gate electrode of said thin film transistor.
