Abstract
According to one embodiment, a display panel includes a substrate, a first insulating layer, and a plurality of pixels including sub-pixels of a plurality of colors, respectively. Each of the sub-pixels includes a drive transistor, a pixel electrode supplied with a signal having a current value controlled from the drive transistor, and a light emitting element mounted on the pixel electrode. Each of the pixels includes a mounting electrode located to be spaced apart from the pixel electrode. The mounting electrode is in an electrically floating state in a first pixel of the plurality of pixels.
Claims8
A display panel comprising:
- a substrate;
- a first insulating layer provided on the substrate;
- and
- a plurality of pixels provided on the substrate, located in a display area, and including sub-pixels of a plurality of colors, respectively;
- each of the sub-pixels including:
- a drive transistor covered with the first insulating layer;
- a pixel electrode arranged on the first insulating layer, electrically connected to the drive transistor, and supplied with a signal having a current value controlled from the drive transistor;
- and
- a light emitting element mounted on the pixel electrode and including a first electrode electrically connected to the pixel electrode;
- each of the pixels including a mounting electrode arranged on the first insulating layer and located to be spaced apart from the pixel electrode,
- the mounting electrode being in an electrically floating state in a first pixel of the plurality of pixels,
- a second pixel of the plurality of pixels further includes an additional light emitting element of a first color mounted on the mounting electrode and including a first electrode electrically connected to the mounting electrode,
- in the second pixel,
- the mounting electrode is electrically connected to the drive transistor of the sub-pixel of the first color and is supplied with a signal having the current value controlled from the drive transistor, and
- when the signal having the current value controlled is supplied from the drive transistor of the sub-pixel of the first color to the pixel electrode of the sub-pixel of the first color and the mounting electrode, the light emitting element of the first color of the sub-pixel of the first color does not emit light, but the additional light emitting element of the first color emits light, and
- the second pixel further includes a wiring layer located on the first insulating layer to connect the pixel electrode of the sub-pixel of the first color with the mounting electrode.
