Abstract

An object is to provide a display device in which a difference in load capacitance between wirings is reduced in the case where different signals are supplied to plural pixels at the same timing with use of plural wirings; thus, deviation in the grayscale and/or signal delay can be reduced. The display device includes first to N-th (N is a natural number of 3 or larger) data lines for supplying different video signals; and a pixel including a selection transistor connected to one of the first to N-th data lines. The first to N-th data lines intersect with each other so that one of the first to N-th data lines is provided closest to one terminal of the selection transistor and connected to the one terminal of the selection transistor.

Claims (18)

1. A display device comprising:

first to N-th data lines, wherein N is a natural number of 3 or larger; and

first to N-th selection transistors,

wherein the first to N-th data lines partially overlap and intersect with each other so that each one of the first to N-th data lines is provided closest to a corresponding one of the first to N-th selection transistors and electrically connected to one of a source and a drain of the corresponding one of the first to N-th selection transistors.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of wiring resistances of the first to N-th data lines caused by the partial overlapping and intersection of the first to N-th data lines is substantially the same.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , further comprising a scan line, wherein an intersection portion between the first to N-th data lines includes a conductive layer that consists of the same material as the scan line.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the first to N-th data lines are configured to supply different video signals.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a display element that includes a liquid crystal element, wherein the display element is electrically connected to the other of the source and the drain of the first to N-th selection transistors.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a display element that includes a light-emitting element and a driving transistor for driving the light-emitting element, wherein the display element is electrically connected to the other of the source and the drain of the first to N-th selection transistors.

7. An electronic device comprising the display device according to claim 1 .

8. A display device comprising:

first to N-th scan lines, wherein N is a natural number of 3 or larger; and

first to N-th selection transistors,

wherein the first to N-th scan lines partially overlap and intersect with each other so that each one of the first to N-th scan lines is provided closest to a corresponding one of the first to N-th selection transistors and electrically connected to a gate of the corresponding one of the first to N-th selection transistors.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein each of wiring resistances of the first to N-th scan lines caused by the partial overlapping and intersection of the first to N-th scan lines is substantially the same.

10. The display device according to claim 8 , further comprising a display element that includes a liquid crystal element, wherein the display element is electrically connected to one of a source and a drain of the first to N-th selection transistors.

11. The display device according to claim 8 , further comprising a display element that includes a light-emitting element and a driving transistor for driving the light-emitting element, wherein the display element is electrically connected to one of a source and a drain of the first to N-th selection transistors.

12. An electronic device comprising the display device according to claim 8 .
