Patent ID: 7636134

Claim:
An electro-optical device, comprising: a substrate; data lines and scanning lines above the substrate, the data and scanning lines intersecting each other in plan view to form intersections; thin film transistors disposed corresponding to the intersections of the data and scanning lines, the thin film transistors being above the substrate and below the data lines, each of the thin film transistors including a channel region that is at least partially covered by each of the data lines in plan view above the substrate, and each of the scanning lines being disposed in a region including a region facing the channel region in plan view above the substrate, being disposed below each of the thin film transistors on the substrate, being connected to a gate of each of the thin film transistors through a contact hole, and including a third conductive light shielding film; storage capacitors disposed above the data lines, each of the storage capacitors including a pixel-potential-side electrode, a dielectric film, and a fixed-potential-side electrode that are stacked with respect to each other, such that the pixel-potential-side electrode is below the dielectric film and the dielectric film is below the fixed-potential-side electrode, each of the storage capacitors being disposed in a region including a region facing the channel region in plan view above the substrate, and each of the data lines including a first conductive light shielding film, and at least one of the fixed-potential-side electrode and the pixel-potential-side electrode including a second conductive light shielding film; pixel electrodes disposed for respective pixels defined in correspondence with the data lines and the scanning lines in plan view above the substrate, each of the pixel electrodes being electrically connected to the pixel-potential-side electrode and each of the thin film transistors; and an interlayer insulating film stacked above at least a portion of the dielectric film, the interlayer insulating film defining an opening, the fixed-potential-side electrode of one of the storage capacitors being disposed on the respective dielectric film at the opening.
