Abstract
A display device includes pixels disposed in a matrix on a transparent base plate. Each pixel includes an opening region, in which an electro-optic element for emitting light through the base plate is formed, and a non-opening region, in which a thin film transistor for driving the electro-optic element is formed. The non-opening region has a first film structure including the thin film transistor. The opening region has a second film structure extending from the first film structure and existing between the electro-optic element and the base plate. The second film structure is different from the first film structure so as to adjust the light passing through the opening region.
