Abstract
A display device has a plurality of arrayed display pixels. A drive transistor includes a first gate electrode and supplies the current corresponding to a level of a luminance signal to the luminescence element. A switching transistor includes a source electrode, a drain electrode, a second gate electrode and a semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer is faced with the second gate electrode and has, in a channel width direction perpendicular to a channel length direction of the switching transistor, a channel region with a first width and a remainder region with a second width larger than the first width. The source electrode or the drain electrode is connected to the first gate electrode. The source electrode and the drain electrode are provided on the semiconductor layer at an interval. The second gate electrode overlaps, in a plan view, the channel region entirely and the remainder region at least partially.
