Patent ID: 7122836

Claim:
An electro-optical device, comprising: data lines extending in a first direction above a substrate; scanning lines extending in a second direction and intersecting with the data lines; pixel electrodes and thin film transistors disposed corresponding to intersections of the data lines and the scanning lines; storage capacitors electrically connected to the thin film transistors and the pixel electrodes; and a shielding layer disposed between the data lines and the pixel electrodes, one of a pair of electrodes forming each of the storage capacitors being formed of a multi-layered film containing a low resistance film, and each of the thin film transistors comprising: a semiconductor layer including a channel region extending in the longitudinal direction; an upper light-shielding film to cover the channel region of the thin film transistor at least from the top is provided; and the upper light-shielding film being at least partially formed in a recessed shape, as viewed from the channel region, in cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the channel region.
