A liquid crystal display panel 10A of the invention has gate electrodes G
of TFTs, scan lines 16, and auxiliary capacitor electrodes 18a, which are
coated with a first insulating film 27 composed of a thick insulating
layer 25 and thinned insulating layer 26. A part above the auxiliary
capacitor electrodes 18a is coated only with the thinned insulating layer
26, and drain electrodes D are extended on the first insulating film 27,
which is not thinned, so as to coat the thinned insulating layer 26. On a
second insulating film 28 provided between the pixel electrodes 20 and
the drain electrodes D, contact holes 30 are formed at portions above the
drain electrodes D on the first insulating film 27, which is not thinned,
above the auxiliary capacitor electrodes 18a, and via the contact holes
30, the pixels 20 and the drain electrodes D are electrically coupled to
each other. By providing such a constitution, a liquid crystal display
device and its manufacturing method can be provided, with only a small
number of bright point defects, and with an increased capacitance of the
auxiliary capacitor electrodes without a reduction in the aperture ratio
of each pixel.
