Abstract:
An active matrix display device comprising:a substrate;a scanning line running in a first direction in a first layer above the substrate;a signal line running in a second direction in a second layer above the substrate;a switching element connected with the scanning line and the signal line;an insulating film above the scanning line, the signal line, and the switching element; anda pixel electrode above the insulating film and electrically connected with the switching element,an extension line connected to an electrode of the switching element, the extension line being formed in the second layer and being isolated from the signal line, said extension line has a connection region and a finger region, where the connection region is connected at least to the switching element, and the finger region extends beyond the connection region and underneath the pixel electrode,wherein the finger region of the extension line is electrically isolated from display elements, except through the connection region.
