Abstract

A display device in an embodiment according to the present invention includes a pixel region includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, a first power source line arranged in the pixel region and provided with a first power source voltage supplying a current to the plurality of pixels, a second power source line located in a layer higher than the first power source line in the pixel region and including an intersection part intersecting the first power source line and provided with a second power source voltage different to the first power source voltage, a conducting layer interposed between the first power source line and the second power source line via an insulation layer and having at least one part overlapping the intersection part, a current detection portion electrically connected with the conducting layer.

Claims (27)

1. A display device comprising:

a pixel region includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix;

a first power source line arranged in the pixel region and provided with a first power source voltage supplying a current to the plurality of pixels;

a second power source line located in a layer higher than the first power source line in the pixel region and including an intersection part intersecting the first power source line and provided with a second power source voltage different to the first power source voltage;

a conducting layer interposed between the first power source line and the second power source line via an insulation layer and having at least one part overlapping the intersection part;

a current detection portion electrically connected with the conducting layer; and

a switch portion to cut off the connection between the first power source line and a first power source or a connection between the second power source line and a second power source when a current above a certain value is detected in the current detection portion.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the current detection portion outputs a signal for blocking a connection between the second power source line and the second power source in the switch portion when a current above a set threshold value is detected.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the pixel region includes a scanning signal line arranged in a row direction and a video signal line arranged in a column direction and the conducting layer is electrically connected with the scanning line.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a scanning circuit including a positive power source and a negative power source and outputting a scanning signal to the scanning signal line, the conducting layer connected to either the positive power source or the negative power source.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein a voltage of the positive power source is higher than a voltage of the first power source and a voltage of the second power source, and a voltage of the negative power source is lower than a voltage of the first power source and a voltage of the second power source.

6. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the conducting layer is arranged along the second power source line and is connected at one end of the scanning signal line.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the conducting layer is provided with a voltage between a voltage of the first power source and a voltage of the second power source.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the conducting layer arranged along the second power source line.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the conducting layer is continuous across a plurality of pixels.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of pixels including a light emitting element, the light emitting element including an organic electroluminescence material.

11. A display device comprising:

a pixel region includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix;

a first power source line arranged in the pixel region and provided with a first power source voltage supplying a current to the plurality of pixels;

a second power source line located in a layer higher than the first power source line in the pixel region and including an intersection part intersecting the first power source line via a first insulation layer and provided with a second power source voltage different to the first power source voltage;

a pixel electrode arranged in a pixel and electrically connected to the first power source line via a transistor and having a region overlapping the second power source line via a second insulation layer;

a current detection portion electrically connected with the second power source line; and

a switch portion to cut off the connection between the first power source line and a first power source when a current above a certain value is detected in the current detection portion.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the current detection portion outputs a signal for blocking a connection between the first power source line and the first power source in the switch portion when a current above a set threshold value is detected.

13. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein at least one part of the pixel electrode overlaps the intersection part.

14. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of pixels including a light emitting element, the light emitting element including an organic electroluminescence material.
