Abstract
An object is to solve a problem in that, in a light-emitting device including a plurality of units including a light-emitting element group connected in series, when disconnection is caused, a current does not flow to the whole of the unit and the whole of the unit is in a non-light emitting state. A light-emitting device has a circuit in which a plurality of units each including a light-emitting element group connected in series using a connection wiring group is provided and the plurality of units is connected in parallel. Further, the circuit includes a subsidiary wiring for electrically connecting one of the connection wirings included in one of the units and one of the connection wirings included in another of the units, whereby a countermeasure against disconnection can be taken.
