Abstract:
1. An image display apparatus, comprising: a display unit that includes a plurality of pixel circuits arranged on an insulating substrate in rows and columns in a matrix form; a plurality of signal lines, where each of the plurality of signal lines is connected to pixels circuits of a corresponding column of the plurality of pixel circuits; a plurality of scanning lines comprising write scanning lines and drive scanning lines, where each of the plurality of scanning lines is connected to pixels circuits of a corresponding row of the plurality of pixel circuits, wherein every n≧2 ones of the drive scanning lines are grouped together into a unit, respectively, such that those drive scanning lines that are grouped into a same unit are directly electrically connected to each other; a signal line drive circuit that is an integrated circuit for selectively introducing a signal line drive signal severally to the plurality of signal lines and that is mounted on the insulating substrate and connected to the plurality of signal lines by a signal-line-connection wiring pattern formed on the insulating substrate; a scanning line drive circuit that is an integrated circuit for selectively introducing a write signal severally to the write scanning lines and a drive signal severally to units of the drive scanning lines such that the drive signal introduced to a respective unit is introduced simultaneously to each of those of the drive scanning lines that are grouped together into the respective unit, wherein the scanning line drive circuit is mounted on the insulating substrate and is connected to the plurality of scanning lines by a scanning-line-connection wiring pattern formed on the insulating substrate; and a dummy region in which dummy pixel circuits are disposed and that is formed in the display unit at a periphery of the plurality of pixel, wherein the scanning-line-connection wiring pattern comprises write connection lines and drive connection lines arranged such that: wherein at least part of the coupling region is arranged in the dummy region.
