Abstract

A substrate is provided having a pixel region including a pixel electrode and a switching element. A periphery region in the periphery of the pixel region includes a first light-shielding film, the first light-shielding film being formed from the same layer as the pixel electrode. A passivation film that covers the pixel electrode and the first light-shielding film is provided.
