Abstract

There is provided an active matrix substrate including, on a substrate: lattice-patterned wires, pixel electrodes arranged in an area surrounded with the wires, and switching elements electrically connected to the wires and the pixel electrodes with a conductive film therebetween, wherein an auxiliary conductive portion electrically connecting the pixel electrodes to the conductive film is further provided.

Claims (12)

1. An active matrix substrate comprising, on a substrate: lattice-patterned wires, pixel electrodes arranged in an area surrounded with the wires, and switching elements electrically connected to the wires and the pixel electrodes with a conductive film therebetween,

wherein an auxiliary conductive portion electrically connecting the pixel electrodes to the conductive film is further provided; and

the auxiliary conductive portion is formed in the same layer as the wires.

2. The active matrix substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a bank is provided in a part of the auxiliary conductive portion.

3. A method of manufacturing an active matrix substrate comprising:

forming lattice-patterned wires on a substrate,

forming pixel electrodes arranged in an area surrounded by the wires,

forming switching elements electrically connected to the wires and the pixel electrodes with a conductive film therebetween,

forming an auxiliary conductive portion electrically connecting the pixel electrodes to the conductive film the auxiliary conductive portion and the wires being formed at the same time.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising forming a bank in a part of the auxiliary conductive portion before forming the conductive film, the conductive film being formed by using a liquid droplet ejecting method.

5. An electro-optical device comprising one of the active matrix substrate according to claim 1 and the active matrix substrate manufactured using the method according to claim 3 .

6. An electronic apparatus comprising the electro-optical device according to claim 5 .
