Patent ID: 7923729

Claim:
An active matrix substrate comprising: a substrate; gate lines and auxiliary capacitive electrodes formed on said substrate; a first interlayer insulating film covering said gate lines and said auxiliary capacitive electrodes; source lines formed on said first interlayer insulating film to intersect with said gate lines; semiconductor layers constituting switching elements at intersections of said gate lines and said source lines; drain electrodes each corresponding to each one of said switching elements; a second interlayer insulating film formed on a layer above said source lines, said semiconductor layers and drain electrodes; and pixel electrodes including reflecting pixel electrodes and transparent pixel electrodes, and connected to said drain electrodes through contact holes formed in said second interlayer insulating film, wherein: said drain electrodes being opposed in part to said auxiliary capacitive electrodes with said first interlayer insulating film sandwiched in between; said contact holes being formed to reach said drain electrodes in areas surrounded by areas where said auxiliary capacitive electrodes are formed, but not in the areas where said auxiliary capacitive electrodes are formed; and the areas surrounded by areas where said auxiliary capacitive electrodes are formed being in a state where the whole or part of the contact portions of said contact holes with said drain electrodes is surrounded from two or three directions by the areas where the auxiliary capacitive electrodes are formed.
