Abstract
A display unit is provided with pixels arranged in a matrix form, and each of the pixels includes: an electro-optical device; a transistor; and a capacitor formed by providing a metal layer between a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer, the first semiconductor layer forming a source region and a drain region of the transistor, and the second semiconductor layer formed in a layer different from a layer where the first semiconductor layer is formed, in which a voltage allowing a capacity value of the capacitor to be increased is applied to the metal layer during light emission from the electro-optical device.
