Abstract:
A thin film transistor, comprising:an insulating substrate;a gate electrode;a gate insulating film;a semiconductor film having a channel;an interlayer insulating film; anda planarization insulation film;wherein the gate electrode, the gate insulating film, the semiconductor film having a channel, the interlayer insulating film, and the planarization insulation film are formed on the insulating substrate, wherein a conductive layer is formed opposite to the channel in the semiconductor film with, at least, the interlayer insulating film between, and wherein the width of the conductive layer along the length of the channel is narrower than the length of the channel, and the edge along the channel length of the conductive layer does not overlap with the edge along the channel length of the gate electrode or the edge along the channel length of the channel, and wherein the conductive layer is connected to the gate electrode.
