Abstract
A thin film transistor (1) includes a source electrode (50), a drain electrode (60), a gate electrode (20), a gate insulating film (30), and a channel layer (40) that is formed of an oxide semiconductor, the channel layer (40) having an average carrier concentration of 1×1016/cm3 to 5×1019/cm3, and including a high carrier concentration region (42) that is situated on the side of the gate insulating film (30) and has a carrier concentration higher than the average carrier concentration, and the channel layer (40) having a substantially homogenous composition.
