Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a transparent substrate having a main surface; a first conductive layer formed on the main surface of said substrate; an insulating film formed on said substrate and covering said first conductive layer; a contact hole formed in said insulating film, and exposing the surface of said first conductive layer; and a transparent second conductive layer formed on said insulating film, filling said contact hole, and electrically connected to said first conductive layer; said first conductive layer having a lower layer portion primarily made of aluminum, and an upper layer portion layered on said lower layer portion and including aluminum containing nitrogen; said contact hole exposing the surface of said upper layer portion; and said upper layer portion in the contact portion within said contact hole having a thickness determined to provide a predetermined contact resistance based on a specific resistance value of said upper layer portion.
