Patent ID: 7317432

Claim:
A light emitting device having a plurality of pixels each including a first TFT, a second TFT, a third TFT, a fourth TFT, an EL element, a source signal line, a first gate signal line, a second gate signal line different from the first gate signal line, and a power supply line, wherein the third TFT and the fourth TFT are both connected to the first gate signal line at their gate electrodes, wherein the third TFT has a source region and a drain region one of which is connected to the source signal line and the other of which is connected to a drain region of the first TFT, wherein the fourth TFT has a source region and a drain region one of which is connected to the drain region of the first TFT and the other of which is connected to a gate electrode of the first TFT, wherein a source region of the first TFT is connected to the power supply line and the drain region thereof is connected to a source region of the second TFT, wherein a drain region of the second TFT is connected to one of two electrodes of the EL element, and wherein a gate electrode of the second TFT is connected to the second gate signal line.
