A photodetector includes: a photodiode configured to convert light into an electric charge; and a TFT configured to detect the electric charge. The TFT includes a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and an oxide semiconductor film. The oxide semiconductor film includes a first region overlapping the source electrode in a plan view, a second region overlapping the drain electrode in the plan view, and a third region located between the first region and the second region, and overlapping only the gate electrode in the plan view. In the plan view, a width of the oxide semiconductor film in a second direction is smaller than widths of the source and drain electrodes, the second direction being perpendicular to a first direction and perpendicular to the oxide semiconductor film, the first direction being a direction passing through the individual first, second, and third regions in a shortest distance.
