Abstract

A plurality of thin film transistors provided in a peripheral region are first staggered thin film transistors where a first channel layer configured of low-temperature polysilicon is included, and the first channel layer is not interposed between a first source electrode and a first gate electrode, and between a first drain electrode and the first gate electrode. A plurality of thin film transistors provided in a display region are second staggered thin film transistors where a second channel layer configured of an oxide semiconductor is included, and the second channel layer is not interposed between a second source electrode and a second gate electrode, and between a second drain electrode and the second gate electrode. The first thin film transistor is located below the second thin film transistor.
