  • Patent number: 10409128
    Abstract: A plurality of pixel electrodes disposed in a matrix are electrically connected with a plurality of first thin film transistors, respectively. Coloring layers in a plurality of colors overlap, in a plan view, with two or more pixel electrodes adjacent to each other in one direction among the plurality of pixel electrodes. Channel layers of the first thin film transistors are covered from above by a coloring laminated body including end parts of the respective coloring layers in at least two colors among the coloring layers in a plurality of colors, the end parts overlapping with each other in the plan view.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10109656
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a technique capable of suppressing a damage on a semiconductor channel layer due to a process of forming a source electrode and a drain electrode and also suppressing a short channel effect. A thin film transistor includes a gate electrode, a first insulating film, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a second insulating film, and a semiconductor channel layer that includes an oxide semiconductor. The second insulating film is disposed on the first insulating film, the source electrode, and the drain electrode. The semiconductor channel layer is electrically connected to the source electrode and the drain electrode via a first contact hole and a second contact hole provided in the second insulating film.
