Abstract:
An active-matrix liquid crystal display comprising:a transparent upper substrate; a transparent lower substrate disposed opposite to the upper substrate; a liquid crystal filled and sealed in a space between the upper and the lower substrate; a plurality of parallel gate lines formed on the lower substrate; a plurality of parallel source lines formed on the lower substrate so as to extend perpendicularly to the gate lines; thin-film transistors formed at intersections of the gate lines and the source lines, respectively; pixel electrodes connected to the thin-film transistors, respectively; and storage capacitors connected to the pixel electrodes, respectively; wherein separate films are used as an insulating film included in the storage capacitors and a gate insulating film included in the thin-film transistors, respectively, and each of the storage capacitors has an upper electrode connected to the pixel electrode and a lower electrode disposed opposite to the upper electrode with the insulating film sandwiched between the upper and the lower electrode.
