Abstract
A LCD device prevents corrosion of the transparent conductive layers and contact resistance increase without arising the step coverage degradation due to the thickness increase of the interconnection layer, the step coverage degradation due to the formation of undercut portions, and productivity reduction and fabrication cost increase. A first interconnection line comprising a patterned Al or Al alloy layer is disposed on or over an insulating plate. A first insulating layer is formed to cover the first interconnection line to have a contact hole exposing a part of the first interconnection line. A first conductive material made of a plated metal is in contact with the exposed part of the first interconnection line in the contact hole. A first transparent conductive layer is in contact with the first conductive material. The first transparent conductive layer is electrically connected to the first interconnection line by way of the first conductive material.
