Provided are thin film transistor, a method of fabricating the same, a flat panel display device including the same, and a method of fabricating the flat panel display device, that are capable of applying an electric field to a gate line to form a channel region of a semiconductor layer of a thin film transistor using a polysilicon layer crystallized by a high temperature heat generated by Joule heating of a conductive layer. As a result, a process can be simplified using a gate line included in the thin film transistor as the conductive layer, and the channel region of the semiconductor layer can be formed of polysilicon having a uniform degree of crystallinity. The thin film transistor includes a straight gate line disposed in one direction, a semiconductor layer crossing the gate line, and source and drain electrodes connected to source and drain regions of the semiconductor layer.
