The patterns of the semiconductor layer 103 , the insulating layer 102 and the first conductive layer 101 are further defined to form a scan line DL, a gate pad DLp and a gate DLg. The gate pad DLp is formed at one end of the scan line DL, and the gate DLg extends from one side of the scan line DL, and the semiconductor layer 103 of the gate DLg serves as a channel layer of the thin film transistor.
