Claim Text:
1. A thin film transistor including a substrate and a plurality of transistor elements formed on the substrate, each of the transistor elements comprising: a gate electrode formed on the substrate; a gate insulation layer formed on the substrate, covering the gate electrode; a source electrode and a drain electrode which are formed on the gate insulation layer; a semiconductor layer formed on the source electrode, the gate insulation layer and the drain electrode, extending from the source electrode to the drain electrode along the gate insulation layer; and a protection layer formed on the semiconductor layer, wherein the protection layer is formed in a substantially stripe shape over each of the transistor elements, and when seen in planar view, locations at both ends of the semiconductor layer and locations at both ends of the protection layer are substantially identical in a channel-length direction extending from the source electrode to the drain electrode in each of the transistor elements, and wherein the protection layer is made of a mixture containing an inorganic compound and an organic compound.
