Abstract
A manufacturing method of liquid crystal display device is provided that can increase manufacturing yield by reducing the number of layers and manufacturing costs and by preventing backlight lamp failure.
In the manufacturing method of the device, a semiconductor layer 4 and a pixel electrode 5 are formed on a gate insulating film 3. Subsequently, a drain electrode electrically interconnecting the semiconductor layer 4 and the pixel electrode 5 of the pixel region A is formed by overlaying a flat solid conductive film on the substrate, followed by removing the conductive film with the use of a photoresist pattern as a mask, while exposing the semiconductor layer 4 at the pixel region A and the adjacent area C. The semiconductor layer 4 at the pixel region A is etched by using, as an index, an etching amount of the semiconductor layer 4 at the adjacent area.
