Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an active matrix substrate with a high yield and excellent characteristics by four photolithography operations. SOLUTION: In a first process, a scanning line 11 and a gate electrode 12 extending from the scanning line are formed on a glass substrate 1. In a second process, a gate insulating layer 2 and a semiconductor layer 20 consisting of an amorphous silicon layer 21 and an amorphous silicon layer 22 are laminated to form a semiconductor layer 20 of a TFT portion Tf. In a third process, a transparent conductive layer 40 and a metal layer 30 are laminated to form a signal line 31, a drain electrode 32 extending from the signal line, a pixel electrode 41 and a source electrode 33 extending from the pixel electrode. Then, an n+ amorphous silicon layer 22 in a channel gap 23 is etched and removed. In a fourth process, a protection insulating layer 3 is formed and the protection insulating layer 3 on the pixel electrode 41 and the metal layer 30 are etched and removed.
