Display device

A display device in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a row direction and a column direction, comprising:

• display elements expressing one of a plurality of colors and composing a pixel, wherein the display elements are arranged in the row direction and the column direction so as to have colors in a periodic arrangement which is shifted with respect to an adjacent row by a pixel pitch multiplied by a non-integer;
• pixel circuits that drive the display elements;
• scanning lines that transmit a row selection signal to the pixel circuits;
• signal lines that transmit a display signal to the pixel circuits;
• and
• column control circuits that generate and output a display signal for every column,
• wherein a plurality of the pixel circuits connected to a same signal line drive the display elements of different colors between the adjacent rows in accordance with an arrangement of the colors displayed by the display elements,
• wherein each of the pixel circuits includes a plurality of circuit elements arranged in an area with a same pattern at least in the column direction, and wherein the pixel circuits are displaced relative to the display elements in opposite directions in adjacent rows;
• wherein the signal lines are straight-line wirings extending in the column direction in a region where the display elements are arranged, and are connected only to pixel circuits aligning in one column along which the respective signal lines extend in the column direction;
• and
• wherein an output of the column control circuit and the signal line are connected to each other via a switch, and wherein the switch performs a shift of the connection between the output of the column control circuit and the signal line by one column.
