Abstract: Provided are an active-matrix substrate, a method for manufacturing the same, and a display device, which render it possible to inhibit electrostatic discharge from occurring during the process of manufacturing a display panel and suppress manufacturing cost. An IGZO film, which is positioned between a silicon oxide film included in a gate insulating film and an etch-stop layer, is annealed at 200 to 350° C. after a passivation film for protecting a TFT is formed.
