Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a liquid crystal element using a film transistor as a switching element, the liquid crystal element comprising two substrates opposed to each other, film transistors and spacers disposed on the opposed surface of one of the substrates, a transparent electrode formed on the opposed surface of the other substrate, a metal wiring formed simultaneously with a light shield of a film transistor or an upper metal layer of the spacer, the metal wiring having one end disposed between the film transistor or spacer and the transparent electrode whereas the other end thereof extends to the peripheral edge of the one substrate.
