Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a plurality of sub pixels that are included in a single pixel, that respectively perform a predetermined display based on a voltage which is supplied using a first electrode and a second electrode and display colors which are different from each other, wherein the plurality of sub pixels include areas which are different from each other, and respectively include pixels which have memory properties.

Claims (29)

1. A display apparatus, having pixels each including sub pixels that include an a-subpixel, a b-subpixel adjacent to the a-subpixel, and a c-subpixel adjacent to the b-subpixel, each of the sub pixels performing a predetermined display based on a voltage which is supplied using a first electrode and a second electrode and display colors which are different from each other,

wherein each of the sub pixels comprises:

a storage circuit storing display data;

a substrate

a first wiring that is formed on the substrate and that supplies electric potential to the first electrode;

a first insulation film that is formed on the substrate to cover the first wiring;

a second wiring that is formed on the first insulation film and that is connected to the first wiring via a first contact hole which is provided in the first insulation film; and

a second insulation film that is formed on the first insulation film to cover the second wiring, and

wherein the first electrode is formed on the second insulation film and that is connected to the second wiring via a second contact hole which is provided in the second insulation film,

wherein among the a-subpixel, the b-subpixel, and the c-subpixel, the b-subpixel has a smallest area, and the c-subpixel has a largest area,

wherein for the b-subpixel, the first contact hole overlaps at least a portion of the b-subpixel and the c-subpixel in plan view, and

wherein the first contact hole of the b-subpixel is connected to the second contact hole arranged in a center area of the b-subpixel through the second wiring.

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

an electric potential line to which predetermined electric potential is supplied,

wherein each of the sub pixels includes a switch device that controls a conduction state between the electric potential line and the first electrode based on the display data which is stored in the storage circuit.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first electrode includes a first electrode unit and a second electrode unit, and wherein the first electrode unit and the second electrode unit are connected to each other using the second wiring.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the a-subpixel is configured to emit red light, the b-subpixel is configured to emit green light, and the c-subpixel is configured to emit blue light.

5. An electronic apparatus, having a display apparatus that displays an image, the display apparatus having sub pixels that include an a-subpixel, a b-subpixel adjacent to the a-subpixel, and a c-subpixel adjacent to the b-subpixel, each of the sub pixels performing predetermined display based on a voltage which is supplied using a first electrode and a second electrode and display colors which are different from each other,

wherein each of the sub pixels comprises:

a storage circuit storing display data;

a substrate;

a first wiring that is formed on the substrate and that supplies electric potential to the first electrode;

a first insulation film that is formed on the substrate to cover the first wiring;

a second wiring that is formed on the first insulation film and that is connected to the first wiring via a first contact hole which is provided in the first insulation film; and

a second insulation film that is formed on the first insulation film to cover the second wiring, and

wherein the first electrode is formed on the second insulation film, and is connected to the second wiring via a second contact hole which is provided in the second insulation film,

wherein among the a-subpixel, the b-subpixel, and the c-subpixel, the b-subpixel has a smallest area, and the c-subpixel has a largest area,

wherein the b-subpixel, the first contact hole overlaps at least a portion of the b-subpixel and the c-subpixel in plan view, and

wherein the first contact hold of the b-subpixel is connected to the second contact hole arranged in a center area of the b-subpixel through the second wiring.
