Claim:
1. A thin film transistor comprising: an active layer, the active layer is made of metal oxide semiconductor material; an etching barrier layer arranged on the active layer and formed with a plurality of via holes therein; and a source electrode and a drain electrode arranged on the etching barrier layer, wherein: the source electrode comprises at least two sub source electrodes and the drain electrode comprises at least two sub drain electrodes; and the sub source electrodes and the sub drain electrodes constitute at least two parallel sub-switches, each of which comprises a sub source electrode and a sub drain electrode, and the sub source electrode and the sub drain electrode are electrically connected to the active layer through the via holes in the etching barrier layer, respectively; wherein the number of the via holes in the etching barrier layer is an even number and the via holes are arranged in two rows parallel with each other, the respective sub source electrodes of the source electrode being electrically connected to the active layer through the via holes in one row and the respective sub drain electrodes of the drain electrode being electrically connected to the active layer through the via holes in the other row.
