An active matrix substrate is provided with a plurality of oxide semiconductor TFTs including a plurality of first TFTs. An oxide semiconductor layer of each oxide semiconductor TFT includes a channel region, a source contact region, and a drain contact region. In a view from a normal direction of the substrate, the channel region is a region located between the source contact region and the drain contact region and overlapping a gate electrode, and the channel region includes a first end portion and a second end portion that oppose each other and extend in a first direction from the source contact region side toward the drain contact region side, a source side end portion that is located on the source contact region side of the first and second end portions and extends in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and a drain side end portion that is located on the drain contact region side of the first and second end portions and extends in the second direction. Each first TFT further includes a light blocking layer located between the oxide semiconductor layer and the substrate. In a view from the normal direction of the substrate, the light blocking layer includes an opening region that overlaps part of the channel region and a light blocking region that overlaps another part of the channel region. In a view from the normal direction of the substrate, the light blocking region includes a first light blocking portion that extends in the first direction over the first end portion of the channel region and a second light blocking portion that extends in the first direction over the second end portion of the channel region; each of the first light blocking portion and the second light blocking portion includes a first edge portion and a second edge portion that oppose each other and extend in the first direction; at least part of the first edge portion overlaps the channel region; and the second edge portion is located on an outer side of the channel region and does not overlap the channel region.
