Patent ID: 7161193

Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising, above a substrate: a substrate; a pixel electrode; a data line extending in a first direction; a thin film transistor including a semiconductor layer having a channel region that extends in a longitudinal direction; a storage capacitor electrically connected to the thin film transistor and the pixel electrode, the storage capacitor including a fixed capacitance line disposed between the pixel electrode and the data line at a position that overlaps the thin film transistor in plan view, the fixed capacitance line having a light shielding property that shields the thin film transistor from incident light; a gate electrode that overlaps with the channel region in plan view; a scanning line extending in a second direction and intersecting the data line, the scanning line being located in between the substrate and the channel; an insulation layer that separates the gate electrode from the scanning line; and contact holes that penetrate through the insulation layer to bring the gate electrode into electrical connection with the scanning line, the contact holes being disposed at sides of the channel region.
