1. An active matrix display device comprising:
a first thin film transistor and a second thin film transistor formed over a substrate;
a first interlayer insulating film formed over the first thin film transistor;
a first wiring line formed over the first interlayer insulating film wherein the first wiring line is electrically connected to the first thin film transistor through a first contact hole of the first interlayer insulating film;
a second wiring line formed over the first interlayer insulating film wherein the second wiring line is electrically connected to the second thin film transistor through a second contact hole of the first interlayer insulating film;
a photoelectric conversion element formed over the first interlayer insulating film and electrically connected to the second wiring line wherein the photoelectric conversion element comprises a photoelectric conversion layer formed over the second wiring line and an electrode formed on the photoelectric conversion layer;
a second interlayer insulating film formed over the photoelectric conversion element and the first wiring line; and
a pixel electrode formed over the second interlayer insulating film and electrically connected to the first wiring line through a contact hole of the second interlayer insulating film,
wherein the pixel electrode overlaps the photoelectric conversion element.
