A thin film transistor arranged in a matrix array with a strip type gate address line and a source signal line, comprising: an insulating layer formed on the gate address line; a semiconductor layer formed on the insulating layer, which serves as a channel conductive layer; the source signal line formed passing by one side of the channel layer; a first drain electrode arranged in parallel with, and spaced from, said source signal line; and at least one pixel electrode connected to any one side of the drain electrode.
