Patent ID: 7126157

Claim:
An active matrix substrate comprising: a base substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the base substrate; a plurality of data lines, each said data line crossing all of the gate lines with a first insulating film interposed therebetween; a plurality of thin-film transistors formed over the base substrate, each said thin-film transistor being associated with one of the gate lines and operating responsive to a signal on the associated gate line; and a plurality of pixel electrodes, each said pixel electrode being associated with on of the data lines and one of the thin-film transistors and being electrically connectable to the associated data line by way of the associated thin-film transistor, wherein each said pixel electrode and the associated thin-film transistor are connected together by way of a conductive member, and wherein each said pixel electrode crosses one of the gate lines, while the conductive member for the pixel electrode crosses another one of the gate lines that is adjacent to the former gate line.
