Patent ID: 8432381

Claim:
An active matrix display comprising: a substrate; a video signal line formed on the substrate and extending in a first direction; a control line provided on the substrate and extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; an self-emitting element including two display electrodes facing each other; a drive transistor connected to one of the display electrodes of the self-emitting element and having a gate electrode arranged under the display electrode connected to the drive transistor; a storage capacitor having a first electrode connected to the gate electrode of the drive transistor and arranged under the display electrodes, and a second electrode facing the first electrode interposing an insulating layer; an output switch connected between the drive transistor and the self-emitting element, and configured to control light emission of the self-emitting element, and wherein the control line includes a light emission control line connected to the output switch and configured to turn on or off the output switch; and a shield electrode arranged between the display electrode connected to the drive transistor and the capacitor with interposing an insulating layer, and connected to the light emission control line.
