Abstract
In the liquid crystal display, a liquid crystal layer is provided between a first insulating substrate and a second insulating substrate. A plurality of first electrodes are arranged in parallel on the first insulating substrate in a first direction, and a first insulating layer is formed on the entire surface of the first insulating substrate and covers the first electrodes. A semiconductor layer is formed on the first insulating layer, and a second insulating layer is formed thereon and covers the entire surface of the first insulating substrate. This triple-layered structure constitutes a switching element array. A plurality of second electrodes are arranged in parallel on the second insulating electrode in a second direction crossing the first direction. Thus, the switching element array sandwiched between the first and second electrodes is used for driving the liquid crystal layer.
