Claim 12:
13. A flexible display device comprising:
a flexible substrate;
a semiconductor layer on the flexible substrate, the semiconductor layer comprising a polycrystalline semiconductor;
a gate insulation layer on the semiconductor layer; and
a gate electrode on the gate insulation layer,
wherein the semiconductor layer comprises a channel region, a source region, and a drain region, the source region and the drain region being at opposite sides of the channel region in a first direction,
wherein the gate electrode comprises:
a linear portion extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and crossing the semiconductor layer to extend beyond both opposite edges of the semiconductor layer in the second direction; and
a protrusion portion protruding from only one side of the linear portion in the first direction, and

wherein the protrusion portion overlaps the channel region of the semiconductor layer in a plan view.
