Abstract

The invention allows formation of LTPS TFTs and TAOS TFTs on the same substrate. The invention provides a display device including a substrate having a display area in which pixels are formed. The pixels include a first TFT made of a TAOS. The drain of the first TFT is formed of first LTPS 112 . The source of the first TFT is formed of second LTPS 113 . The first LTPS 112 is connected to a first electrode 106 via a first through-hole 108 formed in an insulating film 105 covering the first TFT. The second LTPS 113 is connected to a second electrode 107 via a second through-hole 108 formed in the insulating film 105 covering the first TFT.
