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.
