A liquid crystal display panel includes: thin film transistors provided in corresponding one of pixels and including a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a semiconductor layer; a scanning line formed in a layer identical to that of the gate electrode and electrically connected to the gate electrode; and a first light shielding body formed in a layer identical to that of at least one of the source electrode and the drain electrode. The semiconductor layer is formed above the scanning line with an insulating layer interposed between the semiconductor layer and the scanning line, the first light shielding body is located above the scanning line and beside the semiconductor layer, and the first light shielding body and the scanning line are connected to each other through a contact hole made in the insulating layer.
