Patent ID: 8654268

Claim:
An active matrix substrate, comprising: a data signal line, a scanning signal line, a transistor connected with the data signal line and the scanning signal line, and a retention capacitor line, the active matrix substrate further comprising a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode in each pixel region, the first pixel electrode being connected with the data signal line via a drain electrode of the transistor, the second pixel electrode being capacitance-coupled to the first pixel electrode via a capacitor formed between the second pixel electrode and a coupling capacitance electrode electrically connected with the first pixel electrode, and the second pixel electrode overlapping the retention capacitor line via an insulating layer, the insulating layer having a thin region positioned to be at least a part of a portion which does not overlap the coupling capacitance electrode, wherein the insulating film is at least one of an interlayer insulating film covering a channel of the transistor and a gate insulating film, wherein the insulating film is the interlayer insulating film, the interlayer insulating film includes an inorganic insulating film and an organic insulating film, and the thin region on the insulating film has been made by thinning the organic insulating film or removing the organic insulating film.
