Abstract
An active matrix substrate () of the present invention includes a substrate, a gate line () formed on the substrate, and an interlayer insulating layer () for insulating a layer formed on the gate line () from the gate line (). In a region of the substrate, the interlayer insulating layer () is not provided on an upper surface of the gate line (), and therefore, the upper surface is exposed. On the other hand, the insulating layer () is provided on the substrate so as to have contact with at least an edge face of the gate line () which edge face is on an extension of a longitudinal direction of the gate line ().
