Abstract

The invention relates to a substrate for a liquid crystal display that forms a part of a display of an information apparatus and a liquid crystal display having the same. The invention provides a substrate for a liquid crystal display which contributes to suppression of an increase in the number of manufacturing steps and an increase in a manufacturing cost and which improves the yield of manufacture, a liquid crystal display having the same, and a method of manufacturing the same. There is provided a base substrate that sandwiches a liquid crystal in combination with an opposite substrate provided opposite thereto and having an electrode formed thereon, a plurality of gate bus lines formed on the base substrate, a plurality of drain bus lines formed such that they intersect with the gate bus lines with an insulation film interposed therebetween, a light-reflective pixel electrode formed in each pixel region on the base substrate, thin film transistors formed in the vicinity of positions where the gate bus lines and the drain bus lines intersect with each other, and a protective film formed of a photosensitive material on the drain bus lines.

Claims (10)

1. A substrate for a liquid crystal display comprising:

a base substrate that sandwiches a liquid crystal in combination with an opposite substrate provided opposite thereto;

a plurality of gate bus lines formed on the base substrate;

a plurality of drain bus lines formed such that they intersect with the gate bus lines with an insulation film interposed therebetween;

a light-reflective pixel electrode formed in each pixel region on the base substrate;

thin film transistors formed in the vicinity of positions where the gate bus lines and the drain bus lines intersect with each other; and

a protective film formed the drain bus lines by leaving a resist layer made of a photosensitive material used for patterning the drain bus lines.

2. A substrate for a liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode is formed of the same material as that of the drain bus lines.

3. A liquid crystal display having a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal sealed between the pair of substrates, wherein a substrate for a liquid crystal display according to claim 1 is used as either of the substrates.

4. A liquid crystal display having a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal sealed between the pair of substrates, wherein a substrate for a liquid crystal display according to claim 2 is used as either of the substrates.
