Abstract
Power source lines ( ) for supplying drive current from power source input terminals ( ) to organic EL elements ( ) formed in a display pixel region having display pixels are connected by a bypass line ( ) along the row direction within the display pixel region. This arrangement minimizes decrease in power source current caused by resistance of the power source lines ( ) according to the line length. Accordingly, the organic EL elements ( ) can adequately receive the actual desired current, thereby achieving an organic EL device capable of bright displays and having uniform display luminance within the display region.
