Patent ID: 7586552

Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising: a substrate; data lines disposed over the substrate and scanning lines disposed over the substrate, the data lines and the scanning lines intersecting with each other; pixels corresponding to intersections between the data lines and the scanning lines transistors disposed over the substrate at positions of the pixels; a plurality of storage capacitors in a layer above the transistors each storage capacitor including; a fixed-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode located in a lower layer of the storage capacitor; a pixel-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode located in an upper layer of the storage capacitor; and a dielectric film sandwiched between the fixed-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode and the pixel-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode; an interlayer insulation film in a layer above the pixel-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode, a first contact hole being formed through the interlayer insulation film; and pixel electrodes each disposed in a pixel and electrically connected to the pixel-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode, each pixel electrode including a first relay electrode formed in a layer above the pixel-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode with the interlayer insulation film sandwiched between the first relay electrode and the pixel-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode, the first relay electrode being electrically connected to the pixel-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode via the first contact hole so that an electric relay connection is provided between the pixel-electric-potential-side capacitor electrode and the transistor.
