Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A distance (d 1 ) from an edge of a first region (R) at places (D) where branch electrodes ( 4 b ) extending, which branch off from an electrode line ( 4 a ) of a second source/drain electrode ( 4 ), start to overlap with a first region (R) to the electrode line ( 4 a ) is 5 μm or more. This realizes a TFT including a comb-shaped source/drain structure that enables easy repair of a source-drain leakage.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A TFT comprising a gate electrode, a first source/drain electrode, and a second source/drain electrode, one of the first source/drain electrode and the second source/drain electrode being a source electrode and the other being a drain electrode, the TFT including an i layer and a stack in which an n + layer is stacked on the i layer, the i layer and the stack being formed from a semiconductor material and disposed above the gate electrode but with a d…
