To provide a liquid crystal display device with high visibility by forming a light shielding film without requiring additional steps. The liquid crystal display device of the invention has a structure in which liquid crystal is injected and sealed between an active matrix substrate over which a pixel portion including a plurality of TFTs, wires, first electrodes (pixel electrodes) and the like are formed and a counter substrate over which a second electrode (counter electrode), a colored film and the like are formed. A part of a conductive film forming electrodes of the TFTs, the wires and the like formed over the active matrix substrate functions as a light shielding film in the pixel portion. |
