Display apparatus comprising a light shielding pattern formed in an area below a connecting pattern of the drain electrode

A display apparatus comprising;

• a gate line driving a pixel electrode constituting pixels on an insulating substrate;
• a source line intersecting with said gate line with an insulating film in between;
• a source electrode connected to said source line;
• a drain electrode located opposite to said source electrode above a gate electrode connected to said gate line, and connected to said pixel electrode;
• an extending pattern from said drain electrode configured not above said gate electrode nor above said gate line, and connected to said pixel electrode;
• a semiconductor layer formed below said source electrode, said source line, said drain electrode, and said extending pattern of said drain electrode;
• a thin film transistor configured from said gate electrode, an insulating film, said source line, said drain electrode, and said semiconductor layer;
• a backlight emitting lights from a light source to strike the surface of said insulating substrate opposite to where pixels are formed;
• and
• a light shielding pattern configured in the same layer of said gate line and blocking the light from the backlight;
• wherein said extending pattern from said drain electrode includes a connecting pattern connecting a connection between said drain electrode and said pixel electrode, and is configured narrower than a channel width of said thin film transistor, and
• said light shielding pattern is formed below said semiconductor layer lying below said connecting pattern of said drain electrode, and is configured in an area blocking the light entering to only a part of the semiconductor layer below the connecting pattern of said drain electrode in the vicinity of said gate line or said gate electrode.
