A thin film transistor substrate includes a thin film transistor of a
first conductivity type, a semiconductor layer having a channel region of
the first conductivity type placed between the source/drain regions, a
gate electrode formed to an opposite face to the semiconductor layer with
an gate insulating film interposed therebetween, an opening in the gate
electrode corresponding to both edges in a channel width direction of the
channel region. In the channel region corresponding to the opening, a
highly concentrated impurity region having a higher impurity
concentration of the first conductivity type than the channel
corresponding to the gate electrode is formed.
