Liquid crystal display device with a structure of improved terminal contact

Abstract

The gate terminal GTM is formed of the aluminum film g and the transparent conductive film dl, which is deposited on the aluminum film g. The gate terminal GTM is formed at its side with a connection portion where the transparent conductive film dl is not provided but where a connection film CNF made of second and third conductive films d2, d3 is provided to connect the aluminum film g and the transparent conductive film dl. At the side of the gate terminal GTM where the connection film CNF is provided, a terminal side portion protective film TSP1 at the same level as the passivation film PSV1 is formed. At the other side of the gate terminal GTM, a terminal side portion protective film TSP2 is provided, which consists of a film at the same level as the insulation film GI and a film at the same level as the passivation film PSV1.
