Abstract

According to one embodiment, a transistor includes a gate electrode, an oxide semiconductor layer which overlaps the gate electrode and including a central portion and an end portion, and a source electrode and a drain electrode each connected to the oxide semiconductor layer, wherein an oxidation degree of the end portion is lower than an oxidation degree of the central portion, and a length of the gate electrode overlapping the central portion is greater than a length of the gate electrode overlapping the end portion.
