Abstract

[Object] It is possible to further improve reliability. [Solution] There is provided a display device including: a pixel unit which is configured with a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in a matrix, each of the pixel circuits including a light emitting element and a driving circuit for driving the light emitting element; scanning lines which are interconnections connected to the respective pixel circuits and are provided to extend in a first direction and correspond to respective rows of a plurality of the pixel circuits; and signal lines which are interconnections connected to the respective pixel circuits and are provided to extend in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and correspond to respective columns of a plurality of the pixel circuits. One of the scanning lines and the signal lines, provided for the one pixel circuit, which is larger in number is positioned in a lower-level interconnection layer. An electrode of a capacitance element included in the driving circuit is positioned in the interconnection layer in which either the scanning lines or the signal lines are provided.
