Abstract

Subpixels of R, G, and B corresponding to a scanning line extended in a row direction and a data transfer line extended in a column direction are provided. A plurality of transistors in the subpixel of each of the colors is disposed along the column direction, and a reflective layer in the subpixel of at least one color is disposed along the row direction so as to overlap any transistor of subpixels of each display color. A power source wiring is disposed between the reflective layer and the transistor along the row direction, so as to overlap the transistor. Relay electrodes which connects the reflective layer and any transistor of subpixels of each display color are formed on a layer between a layer on which the power source wiring is formed, and the reflective layer.
