Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to one embodiment, a display device includes a thin film transistor. The thin film transistor includes a gate insulating film, a semiconductor layer, a gate electrode, first and second channel protection films, first and second conductive layers, and a passivation film. The semiconductor layer is provided on a major surface of the gate insulating film. The semiconductor layer includes first to seventh portions. The gate insulating film is disposed between the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode. The first channel protection film covers the third portion. The second channel protection film covers the fifth and fourth portions, and an upper surface of the first channel protection film. The first conductive layer covers the sixth portion. The second conductive layer covers the seventh portion. The passivation film covers the first and second portions, the first and second conductive layers, and the second channel protection film.
