Patent ID: 8575602

Claim:
An active matrix substrate driven by an analog gray scale method, comprising: a substrate, an organic EL element, a power source line, a transistor that supplies current to the organic EL element from the power source line, and a compensation circuit for compensating variability of the threshold voltage in the transistor, wherein the organic EL element has a pixel electrode electrically connected to the transistor, a gate electrode of the transistor is provided in a first wiring layer and a second wiring layer, a portion of the gate electrode in the first wiring layer is covered with the pixel electrode, a portion of the gate electrode in the second wiring layer covers the power source line, the portions of the gate electrode in the first wiring layer and the second wiring layer are connected via a contact hole provided in an insulating layer, the first wiring layer is a layer closer to the substrate than the second wiring layer, and the second wiring layer is a layer closer to the substrate than the pixel electrode.
