First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a transistor comprising a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a semiconductor layer;
a first wiring electrically connected to the gate electrode;
a second wiring electrically connected to the source electrode;
a pixel electrode electrically connected to the drain electrode; and
a capacitor wiring,wherein the semiconductor layer overlaps with the first wiring, the second wiring, the pixel electrode, and the capacitor wiring, andwherein part of the capacitor wiring extends beyond an end portion of the pixel electrode in a direction parallel to a direction in which the second wiring extends.

Abstract
Photolithography and etching steps for forming an island-shaped semiconductor layer are omitted, and a liquid crystal display device is manufactured with four photolithography steps: a step of forming a gate electrode (including a wiring formed using the same layer as the gate electrode), a step of forming source and drain electrodes (including a wiring formed using the same layer as the source and drain electrodes), a step of forming a contact hole (including the removal of an insulating layer and the like in a region other than the contact hole), and a step of forming a pixel electrode (including a wiring formed using the same layer as the pixel electrode). By the reduction in the number of photolithography steps, a liquid crystal display device can be provided at low cost and high productivity. Formation of a parasitic channel is prevented by an improvement in shape and potential of a wiring.
