Patent ID: 8507910

Claim:
An active matrix display apparatus, comprising: a transistor, a storage capacitor, and a light-emitting element formed on a substrate, the transistor comprising a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode, the storage capacitor having a multilayered structure of a first electrode, a dielectric layer, and a second electrode stacked in this order on the substrate, and the light-emitting element having a multilayered structure of a third electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a fourth electrode stacked in this order on the substrate, wherein the first electrode is electrically connected to the gate electrode of the transistor, wherein at least a part of the storage capacitor is disposed between the substrate and the light-emitting element, wherein all of the substrate, the first electrode, the second electrode, and the third electrode are formed from a material transmitting a visible light emitted by the light-emitting element, wherein viewing from a normal direction of a surface of the substrate, a light-emitting region of the light-emitting element is provided within a charge accumulating region of the storage capacitor, and wherein the light emitting region is a region where the third electrode and the fourth electrode directly face each other.
