ACTIVE MATRIX SUBSTRATE AND DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING SAID SUBSTRATE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G02F1/1343 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: active matrix substrate includes a plurality of switching elements provided on an insulating substrate; a plurality of lines provided on the insulating substrate and connected to the switching elements; an interlayer insulating film covering the switching elements and the lines; a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on the interlayer insulating film; and a plurality of terminals from the lines and placed with a predetermined spacing. At least part of each of the terminals is not covered with the interlayer insulating film. A reflection layer configured to reflect light is provided in a region that is at least part of each gap between the adjacent terminals and includes an edge of the interlayer insulating film, as viewed from the normal to the surface of the insulating substrate. The substrate also includes a semiconductor layer, partially overlapping the interlayer insulating film, which is provided in a region corresponding to the reflecting layer, and includes an edge of the interlayer insulating film.

EFFECT: reducing the probability of short-circuiting between terminals due to remains of pixel electrode material.
