Abstract

A display device includes pixels, each of the pixels including light emitting parts disposed in a first direction; pixel circuits including storage capacitors disposed in a second direction intersecting the first direction; a scan line extending in the first direction between the storage capacitors; a sub-scan line electrically connected to the scan line and extending in the second direction; and connection lines that electrically connect the light emitting parts and the pixel circuits and do not overlap the sub-scan line in a plan view.
