Abstract

A display panel includes: a liquid crystal element; and a transistor including a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode. The liquid crystal element and the transistor are provided for each sub-pixel, and the drain electrode serves as a pixel electrode that drives the liquid crystal element.

Claims (40)

1 . A display panel, comprising:

a liquid crystal element; and

a transistor including a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode,

wherein the liquid crystal element and the transistor are provided for each sub-pixel, and

the drain electrode serves as a pixel electrode that drives the liquid crystal element.

2 . The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of gate lines arranged in rows; and

a plurality of data lines arranged in columns,

wherein the sub-pixels are arranged in matrix, corresponding to a layout of the gate lines and the data lines, and

the drain electrode is arranged in a same layer as a layer provided with the data lines.

3 . The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the drain electrode serves as a reflecting electrode.

4 . A display panel, comprising:

a liquid crystal element including, as a multilayer, a pixel electrode, a counter electrode, and a liquid crystal layer disposed in between; and

a transistor including a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode,
