    Abstract: A display device includes a substrate including a display area and a peripheral area outside the display area, a thin-film transistor arranged in the display area, a display element arranged in the display area, an interlayer insulating layer covering the thin-film transistor, a conductive layer arranged above the interlayer insulating layer, a first insulating layer covering the conductive layer, a pad arranged in the peripheral area, and a second conductive layer covering a central portion of the pad. The pad is connected to a connection line through a contact hole, and the connection line is arranged on a same first layer as a gate electrode of the thin-film transistor. A side surface of the pad is covered by the first insulating layer or the second conductive layer.

    Abstract: A thin film transistor includes a substrate and a gate electrode disposed over the substrate. The gate electrode includes a center part and a peripheral part configured to at least partially surround the center part. The thin film transistor further includes a gate insulating layer disposed below the gate electrode and a first electrode insulated from the gate electrode by the gate insulating layer. The first electrode has at least a portion thereof overlapping the center part. The thin film transistor additionally includes a spacer disposed below the first electrode and a second electrode insulated from the first electrode by the spacer. The second electrode has at least a portion thereof overlapping the peripheral part. The thin film transistor further includes a semiconductor layer connected to the first and second electrodes, and insulated from the gate electrode by the gate insulating layer.
