Abstract

An image display apparatus includes a plurality of pixels. Each of the pixels includes a light emitting element, a first thin film transistor, and a capacitor. The light emitting element has a light emitting region. The first thin film transistor is arranged outside the light emitting region in plan view. The capacitor is arranged inside the light emitting region in plan view.

Claims (12)

1. An image display apparatus comprising a plurality of pixels, each of which comprises,

a light emitting element having a light emitting region;

a first thin film transistor arranged outside the light emitting region in plan view, for driving the light emitting element; and

a capacitor comprising a first electrode and a second electrode including a overlapping region which overlaps with the first electrode,

wherein the overlapping region is arranged inside the light emitting region in plan view.

2. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a part of the overlapping region is positioned below the center of the light emitting region.

3. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a distance from the edge of the capacitor to the light emitting region is not less than a thickness of one of the first electrode or the second electrode of the capacitor.

4. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels further comprises a second thin film transistor arranged outside the light emitting region.

5. The image display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the first thin film transistor, the second thin film transistor and the capacitor are disposed on the same plane.

6. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a substrate which supports the pixels, wherein the capacitor is disposed between the light emitting element and the substrate.

7. The image display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein a light emitted from the light emitting region exits in a direction opposite to the capacitor.

8. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the overlapping region is arranged just under the light emitting element.
