Abstract

An electro-optical apparatus includes a semiconductor layer which is provided on a first substrate, a gate electrode which is provided on the semiconductor layer, a first light-shielding member which is provided between the semiconductor layer and the first substrate, a second light-shielding member which is provided in an extension direction of the first substrate in the semiconductor layer, and a third light-shielding member which is provided on an opposite side to the first substrate in the semiconductor layer, in which the second light-shielding member is embedded within a groove which is formed between the first light-shielding member and the third light-shielding member, and the third light-shielding member is electrically connected to the gate electrode and the first light-shielding member via the second light-shielding member.

Claims (35)

1. An electro-optical apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

a third light-shielding member which is provided above the substrate;

a transistor which is provided between the third light-shielding member and the substrate;

a first light-shielding member which is provided between the transistor and the substrate; and

a second light-shielding member which is provided within a groove that is provided between the first light-shielding member and the third light-shielding member and electrically connects the first light-shielding member and the third light-shielding member,

wherein the transistor is disposed in the groove.

2. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the third light-shielding member has a higher light-shielding property than a gate electrode of the transistor and the second light-shielding member.

3. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical apparatus according to claim 2 .

4. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second light-shielding member is formed of tungsten, and

the third light-shielding member is formed of aluminum.

5. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the third light-shielding member is a scanning line.

6. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical apparatus according to claim 4 .

7. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical apparatus according to claim 5 .

8. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first contact hole which is electrically connected to one of a source and a drain of the transistor; and

a second contact hole which is electrically connected to the other of the source and the drain,

wherein a height of the first contact hole and the second contact hole is formed up to a height of at least the third light-shielding member.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical apparatus according to claim 8 .

10. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1 .

11. An electro-optical apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

a third light-shielding member which is provided above the substrate;

a transistor which is provided between the third light-shielding member and the substrate;

a first light-shielding member which is provided between the transistor and the substrate; and

a second light-shielding member which is provided within a groove that is provided between the first light-shielding member and the third light-shielding member at least at both sides of the transistor and electrically connects the first light-shielding member and the third light-shielding member,

wherein the second light-shielding member is provided above the transistor and between the third light-shielding member and the transistor.
