The distance between the edges is at least 2 microns. Accordingly, both the light obliquely incident on the amorphous silicon layer from the outside once the light normally incident on the amorphous silicon layer is blocked by the gate electrode. Insulation layers, which are separated from the amorphous silicon layer and made of an amorphous silicon, are interposed between the edges of the source/drain electrodes and the gate electrode to reinforce the insulation between the gate electrode and the source/drain electrodes and also to absorb the light reflected by the source/drain electrodes and the gate electrode. The source electrode may partially surround the drain electrode in annular shape, to reduce the parasitic capacitance generated between the gate electrode and the drain electrode.
