Display apparatus, pixel layout method for display apparatus, and electronic device

A pixel layout method for a display apparatus having a plurality of pixels disposed in an array, each pixel including

• an electro-optical element,
• a write transistor configured to write a picture signal,
• a drive transistor configured to drive the electro-optical element according to the picture signal written by the write transistor,
• a hold capacitor, connected between the gate and source electrodes of the drive transistor, and configured to hold the picture signal written by the write transistor, and
• an auxiliary capacitor, connected between the anode of the electro-optical element and a fixed potential node, the method comprising the steps of:
• forming each auxiliary capacitor straddling the boundary between specific pixel pairs adjacent in the pixel layout direction on a pixel row;
• and
• forming an island metal pattern between pixel pairs other than the specific pixel pairs, at a site corresponding to that of the auxiliary capacitor.
