Abstract
An active matrix substrate for liquid crystal display in which an active element and address wiring are disposed in a matrix on an insulating substrate. The active element and address wiring are covered with a transparent insulating layer, and then a transparent electrode for display is disposed on the transparent insulating layer. The transparent electrode for display is connected to the active element through a contact hole created on the transparent insulating layer. In this structure, a difference in refractive index between an element insulating layer which is a part of the active element under the transparent display electrode and the transparent insulating layer, and a difference in refractive index between the element insulating layer and insulating substrate are both set to within 0.2. This allows to obtain a liquid crystal display with satisfactory display quality.
