Abstract
A display device includes a sequentially stacked body formed of a gate signal line, an insulation film, a semiconductor layer and a conductor layer on a substrate. The conductive layer forms a drain electrode and a source electrode of a thin film transistor which are arranged with a channel region of the semiconductor layer therebetween, and one of the drain and source electrode is formed in an approximately U shape having an open-ended one end side and a connecting portion on another end side so that the one electrode surrounds a distal end portion of another electrode as viewed in a plan view, and a projecting portion is formed on a side of the connecting portion opposite to the another electrode.
