A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel. A
drive circuit part is formed in the display panel. The drive circuit has
a switching device with thin film transistors. The transistors commonly
use one gate electrode and are connected in parallel. The switching
device includes a gate electrode, a gate insulating film covering the
gate electrode, a semiconductor pattern which overlaps the gate electrode
with the gate insulating film therebetween, and source and drain
electrodes which are formed on the semiconductor pattern and face each
other. The source and drain electrodes, as well as a channel between the
source and drain electrodes, are bent in the same direction.
