An inexpensive method of manufacturing an LCD having a low resolution by utilizing a TFT substrate may be provided. In certain embodiments, an LCD having a low resolution is realized in an inexpensive way by using the TFT substrate adapted for a high-definition liquid crystal display apparatus and by combining a new color filter substrate and/or driver ICs suited to a new driving method.

A thin film transistor where source and drain electrodes are film laminates including at least two layers. A first layer film of the laminate, which is formed to a thickness of 10 to 700 .ANG. is in ohmic contact with underlying semiconductor film.

On an active matrix substrate having a TFT in the vicinity of the intersection of a gate line and a source line and a pixel electrode connected to the TFT, an inter-layer insulating film is formed by an acrylic resin, for example, between the pixel electrode and the gate line, source line and TFT. The pixel electrode does not overlap a self gate line, but overlaps a gate line adjacent to the self gate line. At least one of the gate line and the source line has a redundant structure including ring-shaped sections connected in a longitudinal direction so as to provide redundancy as a measure to counter the disconnection of lines.
