Abstract
A liquid crystal display device provided with an insulating substrate, a thin film transistor formed on the insulating substrate, and a pixel electrode and a storage capacitor electrically connected to the thin film transistor, includes a first conductive layer formed on the insulating substrate; a first insulating layer formed on the first conductive layer and having an opening for exposing a part of the first conductive layer; a second conductive layer formed on the first conductive layer at least within the opening; a second insulating layer for covering the second conductive layer; and a third conductive layer for covering the second insulating layer at least within the opening, and the storage capacitor is formed from a stacked layer structure including the second conductive layer, the second insulating layer and the third conductive layer.
