Abstract

A plurality of data signal lines each of which is connected to at least one pixel circuit in one pixel circuit column and is not connected to the pixel circuits of other pixel circuit columns are provided to one pixel circuit column, and the pixel circuits in the pixel circuit column are connected to any one of the plurality of data signal lines. An image display device having such a constitution can alleviate lowering of display quality attributed to transmission delay or voltage drop of a scanning signal.

Claims (16)

1. An image display device, comprising:

a substrate on which pixel circuits for performing a display control of pixels are arranged in a matrix array, wherein

a plurality of data signal lines each of which is connected to at least one pixel circuit in one pixel circuit column are provided to the one pixel circuit column,

the pixel circuits in the pixel circuit column are connected to any one of the plurality of data signal lines,

the plurality of data signal lines are constituted of a first data signal line and a second data signal line, and the pixel circuits are connected to either one of the first data signal line and the second data signal line,

thin film transistors are arranged in a region defined between the first data signal line and the second data signal line as viewed in a plan view of the substrate,

a power source line is arranged on both sides of the pixel circuit column, and

the pixel circuits of the pixel circuit column are connected to the power source line which is arranged on a side opposite to a side where the data signal line to which the pixel circuits are connected is arranged.

2. An image display device, comprising:

a substrate on which pixel circuits for performing a display control of pixels are arranged in a matrix array, wherein

a plurality of data signal lines are provided for one pixel circuit column, and the plurality of data signal lines extend in the columnar direction of the pixel circuits arranged in a matrix array and are arranged parallel to each other in the row direction,

the pixel circuits in the pixel circuit column are connected to any one of the plurality of data signal lines,

the plurality of data signal lines include a first data signal line and a second data signal line along a first pixel circuit column, and the first data signal line and the second data signal line are arranged parallel to each other,

the first pixel circuit column has the pixel circuits which are connected to the first data signal line and the pixel circuits which are connected to the second data signal line,

a power source line is arranged on both sides of the pixel circuit column, and

the pixel circuits of the pixel circuit column is connected to the power source line which is arranged on a side opposite to a side where the data signal line to which the pixel circuits are connected is arranged.
