Abstract:
A method for producing an active matrix substrate including; a substrate; a plurality of first lines formed on the substrate to be parallel to each other; an insulating film covering the first lines; a plurality of second lines formed on the substrate extending to cross the first lines with the insulating film interposed therebetween; a plurality of switching elements provided near respective crossings of the first lines and the second lines; and a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix on the insulating film which are connected to the switching elements, respectively, the method including the steps of:forming the first lines on the substrate;forming the insulating film on an entire surface of the substrate to cover the first lines;removing portions of the insulating film;forming the second lines;forming source and drain electrodes of the switching elements;forming the pixel electrodes so that gaps are provided between the second lines and the pixel electrodes;wherein the step of removing the portions of the insulating film is conducted prior to the step of forming the second lines and the pixel electrodes, and the removed portions of the insulating film are positioned to correspond to the gaps;wherein the removed portions of the insulating films overlap with the pixel electrodes and the second lines.
