Abstract
A display device includes a drive transistor and a switching transistor formed by layering an inorganic insulating film, an oxide semiconductor layer, an upper gate insulating layer, an upper gate electrode, and an interlayer insulating film. The drive transistor and the switching transistor include an oxide semiconductor film formed of the oxide semiconductor layer and provided in an island shape corresponding to the drive transistor and an island shape corresponding to the switching transistor, and the oxide semiconductor film includes a channel region overlapping with the upper gate electrode corresponding to the oxide semiconductor film, and a source region and a drain region. The drive transistor is provided with a lower gate electrode and a lower gate insulating layer between the inorganic insulating film and the oxide semiconductor layer. The length of lower gate electrode is less than or equal to the length of upper gate electrode.
