Patent ID: 7916232

Claim:
A device having at least one liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal panel comprising: a first substrate having an insulating surface; a second substrate being opposed to the first substrate; at least one thin film transistor being formed over the first substrate, the thin film transistor including at least a channel region, a gate insulating film adjacent to the channel region and a gate electrode adjacent to the channel region with the gate insulating film interposed therebetween; an interlayer insulating film over the thin film transistor; a lead electrode over the interlayer insulating film and electrically connected to one of a source or a drain of the thin film transistor through a first opening in the interlayer insulating film; an organic resin film over the interlayer insulating film and the lead electrode; a pixel electrode over the organic resin film, the pixel electrode being electrically connected to the lead electrode through a second opening in the organic resin film; and an electro-optical modulating layer comprising a mixture of a liquid crystal material and a polymer resin, the electro-optical modulating layer being located between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first opening and the second opening do not overlap each other.
