Abstract

Disclosed herein is a display device including a semiconductor layer, a gate electrode, a source/drain electrode layer, and an organic electric field light-emitting element. The semiconductor layer is provided on a substrate and made of an oxide semiconductor. The gate electrode is provided above a selective first region of the semiconductor layer with a gate insulating film sandwiched therebetween. The source/drain electrode layer is adapted to serve as a source or drain and electrically connected to a second region of the semiconductor layer adjacent to the first region thereof. Also, the organic electric field light-emitting element is provided above a third region of the semiconductor layer different from the first and second region thereof, the organic electric field light-emitting element having a region for the third region that is driven as a pixel electrode.
