<p>A liquid crystal display device having active elements of a novel structure that can be fabricated as a finished article without losing pixel regions even in case active elements develop leakage or patterns are cut. Split electrodes (16, 17) are superposed on an oxide film (13a) that is formed on the surface of a coupling layer (13), and they are coupled capacitively through the coupling layer (13) and the oxide film (13a) thereby to constitute a pixel electrode (18) of a unitary structure. MIM elements are connected to the split electrodes (16) and (17). Even in case leakage occurs in the junction portion of either MIM element, the other split electrode properly operates. The same state as when the pattern is cut is established if a defective MIM element is cut off. Even in case the pattern is cut, the split electrodes (16) and (17) are coupled capacitively. Therefore, the potential of the defective split electrode can be indirectly controlled upon controlling the potential of the normal split electrode.</p> |
