Abstract
An active-matrix substrateincludes multiple function linesa structure for fixing up the arrangement of the function lines, a first conductive layera second conductive layermultiple transistorsand multiple pixel electrodesEach of the function linesincludes: a coreat least the surface of which has electrical conductivity; an insulating layerthat covers the surface of the core; and a semiconductor layerthat covers the insulating layer. Some portions of the first and second conductive layersandoverlap with the respective semiconductor layers of the function lines but the others not. The transistorsare provided so as to have their channel defined as a regionin the semiconductor layer by the first and second conductive layers. The pixel electrodesare electrically connected to the first conductive layer
