Organic electroluminescent light emitting display device
View Patent ↗In an organic electroluminescent light emitting display device comprising a plurality of pixels each of which includes an organic electroluminescent element emitting light by a current supplied thereto, a plurality of active elements including a first active element which acquires a data signal and a second active element which regulates the current supplied to the organic electroluminescent element in accordance with the data signal, and a capacitive element storing the data signal, the present invention utilizes a part of the capacitive element arranged in one of the pixels for a light shielding member which shields the plurality of active elements arranged the one of the pixels from light emitted by the organic electroluminescent element arranged therein or another pixel adjacent thereto so as to suppress image quality deterioration and smear appearing in an image display area of the organic electroluminescent light emitting display device.
1. An organic electroluminescent light emitting display device, comprising:
a substrate having a main surface;
a plurality of pixels arranged two-dimensionally on the main surface of the substrate;
a plurality of scanning signal lines arranged in parallel in a first direction on the main surface of the substrate;
a plurality of data signal lines arranged in parallel in a second direction which intersects the first direction on the main surface of the substrate; and
a plurality of current supply lines arranged on the main surface of the substrate;
wherein each of the plurality of pixels comprises:
a first active element;
a second active element; and
an organic electroluminescent element connected to one of the plurality of current supply lines via the second active element, and wherein
a gate of the second active element is connected to a capacitor, the capacitor is connected to one of the plurality of scanning signal lines via the first active element,
the first active element comprises a gate electrode, the gate electrode being a part of the one of the plurality of scanning signal lines or being connected to one of the plurality of scanning signal lines,
the scanning signal lines include a first portion and a second portion in each of the plurality of pixels, and a width of the second portion is wider than the first portion, and
the current supply line has a branch line, and wherein the scanning signal line extends along the branch line of the current supply line.
2. An organic electroluminescent light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of scanning signal lines is bent in a step shape in each of the plurality of pixels.
