Abstract
A display device is disclosed, which may display an image even in an area overlapped with a camera and have high light transmittance. The display device comprises a substrate provided with a display area including a first display area and a second display area, a first transistor provided in the first display area over the substrate, a second transistor provided in the second display area over the substrate, a first subpixel supplied with a power source from the first transistor, and a second subpixel supplied with a power source from the second transistor. At least two or more second subpixels share one second transistor.
