A thin film transistor (TFT) includes a scan line on a substrate, the scan line including a straight portion extending along a first direction, an active layer including an oxide semiconductor and overlapping the straight portion of the scan line, the active layer having a first region, a second region, and a third region that are linearly and sequentially aligned along the first direction, a first insulating layer between the active layer and the scan line, a first electrode connected to the first region of the active layer, and a second electrode connected to the third region of the active layer.

Thin film transistor and flat display device

A flat panel display integrated with a touch screen panel. The connecting patterns, which connect adjacent first sensing cells and adjacent second sensing cells are formed on the same level of the lower surface of the upper substrate of the flat panel display of the same material as metal patterns formed around the edge of the touch screen panel, and by arranging the connecting patterns not to cross each other. The flat panel display panel can also be integrated with a touch screen having improved visibility by forming the touch screen panel on the upper substrate of the flat panel display such that connecting patterns are formed in the regions between the pixels.
