Abstract
A thin film transistor (TFT) including a gate electrode, an active layer, and source and drain electrodes. The active layer includes contact regions that contact the source and drain electrodes, which are thinner than a remaining region of the active layer. The contact regions reduce the contact resistance between the active material layer and the source and drain electrodes.
