Abstract
A display device includes a pixel layer for displaying an image and a circuit layer including a thin film transistor for driving the pixel layer. The thin film transistor includes a semiconductor layer including a channel region and a source region and a drain region sandwiching the channel region, a first gate electrode facing the channel region on a first side which is either above or below the semiconductor layer, a second gate electrode facing at least the channel region and the source region on a second side opposite to the first side, a source electrode connected to the source region, and a drain electrode connected to the drain region. The source electrode penetrates through the semiconductor layer and is connected to the second gate electrode on the second side.

A display device comprising:
- a pixel layer for displaying an image;
- and
- a circuit layer including a thin film transistor for driving the pixel layer, wherein
- the thin film transistor includes
- a semiconductor layer including a channel region and a source region and a drain region sandwiching the channel region,
- a first gate electrode facing the channel region on a first side which is either on or below the semiconductor layer,
- a second gate electrode facing at least the channel region and the source region on a second side opposite to the first side,
- a source electrode connected to the source region, and
- a drain electrode connected to the drain region, and
- the source electrode penetrates through the semiconductor layer and is connected to the second gate electrode on the second side, wherein
- the drain electrode penetrates through the semiconductor layer and extends to the second side without contacting the second gate electrode,
- the second gate electrode has a central region overlapping with the first gate electrode each other, and has a first end below a side of the drain electrode and a second end below a side of the source electrode,
- a distance from the central region to the second end is larger than a distance from the first gate electrode to the source electrode in a plan view,
- the first end and the second end are equally spaced apart from the central region,
- the second gate electrode faces the drain region and has a hole, and
- the drain electrode extends inside the hole of the second gate electrode.
