A this film transistor is provided. The thin film transistor includes a semiconductor layer including a source region, a drain region, and a channel region, wherein the channel region is provided between the source region and the drain region; and a gate electrode overlapping with the channel region, wherein the channel region includes at least a portion of a channel width that is configured to at least one of continuously decrease and continuously increase in a lengthwise direction.

Display device, switching circuit and field effect transistor

Disclosed herein is a display device including a pair of substrates opposed to each other, a pixel region provided between the substrates, and an external wiring provided on an extension of one of the substrates. The external wiring is disposed in a recess formed on the extension. With this structure, the external wiring provided on the extension can be reliably protected to thereby improve the reliability of the display device.

Display device and manufacturing method therefor

On a glass substrate of a liquid crystal display device, electrode parts to which metallic electrodes (bumps) of an IC circuit are connected from an upper part are formed. The electrode parts are formed by opening an interlayer dielectric film at parts corresponding to metal wiring and forming land shaped electrode pads in the opening parts. In this invention, the planar forms of the electrode pads are smaller than the opening parts of the interlayer dielectric film. Thus, the planarization of the peripheral surfaces around the electrode parts is improved. Accordingly, integrated circuit devices (IC) or semiconductor chips can be connected with high reliability.
