Abstract

An active matrix substrate includes a first TFT (10), a second TFT (20) disposed per pixel, and a circuit including the first TFT. The first and second TFTs each include a gate electrode (102A, 102B), a gate insulating layer (103), an oxide semiconductor layer (104A, 104B), and source and drain electrodes in contact with an upper surface of the oxide semiconductor layer. The oxide semiconductor layer (104A, 104B) has a stacked structure including a first semiconductor layer (104e, 104c) in contact with the source and drain electrodes and a second semiconductor layer that is disposed on a substrate-side of the first semiconductor layer and that has a smaller energy gap than the first semiconductor layer. The oxide semiconductor layers (104A) and (104B) are different from each other in terms of the composition and/or the number of stacked layers. The first TFT has a larger threshold voltage than the second TFT.
