Abstract

The present invention overcomes image defects such as the brightness inclination or smears by reducing the line resistance of a power source bus line which supplies electricity to organic EL elements. A plurality of pixels which are arranged in a matrix array is connected to power source lines, and the plurality of power source lines are connected to a power source bus line. Both ends of the power source bus line are connected to a power source part via a FPC. By supplying electricity to both ends of the power source bus line from the power source part, the line resistance of the power source bus line can be reduced.

Claims (8)

1. An organic EL display device comprising:

a substrate having a display region;

a drive circuit mounted on the substrate, and

a flexible printed circuit connected to the substrate, wherein:

the display region has a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix array, power source lines connected to the plurality of pixels, and data lines supplying data signals to the plurality of pixels,

a power source bus line is elongated along the display region and connected to the power source lines, the power source bus line is arranged between the display region and the drive circuit, and

electricity is supplied from a power source via the flexible printed circuit to a plurality of electricity supply portions of the power source bus line, and the electricity supply portions are arranged between an edge and a center of the power source bus line.

2. An organic EL display according to claim 1 , wherein the power source bus line is elongated along an outer edge of the display region.
