Patent ID: 8922461

Claim:
A display device comprising: a display element including a plurality of sub-elements connected to respective retention capacities; a plurality of writing transistors respectively arranged corresponding to the plurality of sub-elements in a region of the display element, the plurality of writing transistors writing an image signal to the retention capacities; and a plurality of driving transistors driving respective sub-elements based on the image signal written through the plurality of writing transistors, wherein, in a plan view layout of the region of the display element, at least one of the writing transistors and the driving transistors are aligned along a source-drain alignment direction, respective drain and source electrodes in at least one of a pair of immediately adjacent driving transistors and a pair of immediately adjacent writing transistors are disposed line-symmetrically with respect to an axis extending along a scanning line; for at least one of the pair of immediately adjacent writing transistors and the pair of immediately adjacent driving transistors, respective source electrodes within the pair are disposed closer to each other than are electrodes of a different type, drain electrodes of the pair of immediately adjacent writing transistors are disposed in between the drain electrodes of the pair of immediately adjacent driving transistors; and the writing transistors and the driving transistors are disposed parallel to each other along a signal line extending in a direction orthogonal to the scanning line.
