A first semiconductor layer that makes a capacitance coupling with a gate
electrode of a thin film transistor through a gate insulating layer and a
second semiconductor layer that makes a capacitance coupling with a
storage capacitor line of a storage capacitor through the gate insulating
layer are formed separately. Also, the first semiconductor layer and the
second semiconductor layer are connected by a metal wiring. The gate
electrode of the thin film transistor makes capacitance coupling with the
first semiconductor layer and the storage capacitor line of the storage
capacitor makes capacitance coupling with the second semiconductor layer
independently. Voltage are induced in the first semiconductor layer and
the second semiconductor layer independently. Since there will be no big
discrepancy in voltage in the gate insulating layer, the dielectric break
down and the leakage can be prevented.
