According to one embodiment, a display device includes a TFT on an insulating substrate. The TFT includes a gate electrode, an insulating layer on the gate electrode, a semiconductor layer on the insulating layer, and a source electrode and a drain electrode each provided in contact with at least a part of the semiconductor layer. The source and drain electrodes have a laminated structure including a lower layer, an intermediate layer and an upper layer. The source and drain electrodes include sidewalls each including a first tapered portion on the upper layer side, a second tapered portion on the lower layer side and a sidewall protective film attached to the second tapered portion. The taper angle of the first tapered portion is smaller than that of the second tapered portion.
