Abstract:
1. An organic electroluminescence display device comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, each of the plurality of pixels including an organic electroluminescence element comprising an organic layer interposed between an anode electrode and a cathode electrode, where the organic layer of the organic electroluminescence element of each of the plurality of pixels comprises one or more constituent-layers; a driving section configured to selectively drive the plurality of pixels to emit light; metal interconnects corresponding respectively to the plurality of pixels, each of the metal interconnects being configured so as to encircle an anode region of its corresponding pixel and being directly electrically connected to the organic layer of its corresponding pixel; and a physically-unitary common layer, portions of which comprise at least one constituent-layer of the organic layer of the organic electroluminescence element of each of the plurality of pixels, wherein the driving section is configured to apply a first potential to the cathode electrode of each of the plurality of pixels when the respective pixels are driven to emit light and to apply a second potential to each of the metal interconnects, where the second potential is such that the organic electroluminescence element of a given pixel of the plurality of pixels does not emit light when the second potential is applied to the anode electrode of the given pixel while the first potential is applied to the cathode electrode of the given pixel.
