TFT array substrate and active-matrix addressed liquid-crystal display device

摘要

A TFT array substrate (30) is provided, which effectively blocks the light traveling toward the active layers of the TFTs. A patterned first light-shielding layer (3) is formed between a transparent plate and TFTs in such a way as to overlap with the active layers of the TFTs. A patterned third light-shielding layer (13) is formed to cover the TFTs on the opposite side to the plate with respect to the TFTs. The third light-shielding layer (13) has the first parts extending along the rows of the matrix and the second parts extending along the columns thereof. A patterned second light-shielding layer (5) is formed between the first light-shielding layer and the TFTs. The second light-shielding layer (5) has a light-absorbing property, which absorbs the light entering the inside of the substrate. A patterned fourth light-shielding layer, which has a light-absorbing property, may be additionally provided between the TFTs and the third light-shielding layer. <IMAGE>
