Abstract

A light-emitting device has a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in one direction, each of the plurality of pixel circuits having a light-emitting element that emits light according to the amount of driving current, a driving transistor that supplies the driving current to the light-emitting element, a holding transistor that supplies a data signal supplied via a data line to the driving transistor, and a connecting line that connects the driving transistor to the holding transistor. The holding transistor, the light-emitting element, and the driving transistor are arranged in a direction crossing the arrangement direction of the plurality of pixel circuits. The light-emitting element is provided between the holding transistor and the driving transistor.

Claims (7)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode, and a light-emitting layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a driving transistor that drives the light-emitting element, the driving transistor including a gate terminal;

a first-electrode power line coupled to the first electrode through the driving transistor;

a second-electrode power line coupled to the second electrode; and

a gate wiring line formed in the same layer as the gate terminal of the driving transistor, the gate wiring line being coupled to the first-electrode power line, at least a part of the gate wiring line overlapping the second-electrode power line.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , the first electrode being an anode of the light-emitting element and the second electrode being a cathode of the light-emitting element.
