A TFT substrate is provided near its outer periphery with a metallic wiring
and pad portions, and a conductive light-shielding film is provided on the
outside of these. The conductive light-shielding film is left annularly
along the outer peripheral portion of the TFT substrate so that, when an
upper layer light-shielding film is formed on the TFT substrate, the upper
layer light-shielding film on the scribed line side would not easily be
exfoliated at the time of etching or cleaning. Of the conductive
light-shielding film, the position of the conductive light-shielding film
disposed on the outside of the pad portions is shifted to the outer side
so that the spacing between the conductive light-shielding film and the
pad portions is set to be, for example, not less than 10 .mu.m. By this,
electrostatic trouble between the conductive light-shielding film and the
pad portions is restrained.
