ABSTRACT:
In an active matrix type liquid crystal electro-optical device using thin-film transistors, a metal film is formed on a transparent electrode that is opposed to the thin-film transistors. The metal film is oxidized by anode oxidation method using the electrode as an anode, to form a metal oxide film that serves as a short circuit preventing film. Alternatively, after a grid-shaped mask is formed on the metal film, the metal film is oxidized using the electrode as an anode, the mask is removed, and the metal film is again anode-oxidized, to form a non-oxidized portion. Thus, transparent and opaque regions, i.e., a black matrix is formed.
