A liquid crystal display device and a manufacturing method therefor are
provided where the number of processes for manufacturing TFT substrates
can be decreased and a high production yield can be attained. To attain
these objects, an image signal bus-line includes at least a transparent
conductive film and a semiconductor layer. A pattern of the transparent
conductive film extends up to a thin film transistor to form its drain
electrode, and a pattern of a semiconductor layer extends up to the
transistor to form its source electrode. By virtue of these arrangements,
the thin film transistor substrate can be manufactured using as little as
three or four photolithography processes.
