Patent ID: 6853407

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a plurality of parallel gate lines formed on a transparent insulating substrate; a plurality of parallel data lines formed on said transparent insulating substrate such that the plurality of said parallel data lines and the plurality of said parallel gate lines cross each other with the plurality of said parallel data lines being electrically insulated from the plurality of said parallel gate lines; and a plurality of transistors provided on said transparent insulating substrate in positions corresponding to pixel regions partitioned in matrix by said gate lines and said data lines, respectively, each of the plurality of said transistors including a data line side LDD region and a pixel side LDD region and said positions of said transistors being remote from said data lines and along said gate lines such that light shielding characteristics of said data line side LDD region and said pixel side LDD region become substantially equal; wherein each of the plurality of said transistors is arranged in an intermediate position between adjacent two of said data lines.
