Abstract
A thin-film transistor including: a gate electrode that is located above a substrate; a gate insulating layer that faces the gate electrode; a partition that defines an opening and has higher liquid repellency than liquid repellency of the gate insulating layer, the opening having a surface of the gate insulating layer therewithin; a semiconductor layer that faces the gate electrode with the gate insulating layer interposed therebetween and is formed within the opening by an application method; a source electrode and a drain electrode that are electrically connected to the semiconductor layer; and an intermediate layer that is made of the same material as a material of the partition and is located between the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor layer, wherein the intermediate layer is discretely present above the gate insulating layer.
