Abstract
The present invention is to provide a manufacturing method and a structure of an LCD which prevents a pixel electrode from being disconnected or being peeled off thinly from the drain electrode. The bottom plate of an active matrix type LCD comprises a protection layer which covers the switching element, a contact hole for exposing the output terminal of the switching element through the protection layer and the pixel electrode which contacts the output terminal of the switching element through the contact hole and which is formed on the protection layer. Specifically, the contact hole is located in a distance of at least 5 &mgr;m inwards from the edge of the pixel electrode. Therefore, disconnection or peel off of the pixel electrode from the drain electrode due to cracking of the pixel electrode occurring during the process of baking at a high temperature is prevented.
