A substrate for a display device includes pixels disposed in a display area where images are displayed, dummy pixels disposed in a non-display area that is outside the display area, lines that are sections of a metal film and extending from the display area to the non-display area, semiconductor sections included in the pixels and being sections of a semiconductor film that is disposed in a layer upper than the metal film via an insulator, the semiconductor sections being disposed to overlap the lines and not to overlap angled portions of the insulator that extend upward along edge portions of the lines, and dummy semiconductor sections included in the dummy pixels and being sections of the semiconductor film, the dummy semiconductor sections being disposed to overlap the lines and the angled portions.

Substrate for display device and display device

An active-matrix substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of first TFTs that are arranged within a display area, an inorganic insulating layer that covers the plurality of first TFTs, an organic insulating layer that is provided on the inorganic insulating layer, a plurality of second TFTs that are arranged within a non-display area, and a source and gate metal connection portion that is positioned within the non-display area, a first conductive layer that is formed from an identical conductive film with a gate wiring line and a second conductive layer that is formed from an identical conductive film with a source wiring line being connected to each other at the source and gate metal connection portion. Each of the plurality of first TFTs is an oxide semiconductor TFT. At least one second TFT among the plurality of second TFTs is covered with the organic insulating layer. The source and gate metal connection portion is not covered with the organic insulating layer.
