When a current-writing type pixel circuit is made, it involves a greater
number of transistors and TFTs occupy much of the area of the pixel
circuit. To alleviate this problem, two pixel circuits (P1, P2) have a
first scanning TFT (14), a current-voltage conversion TFT (16),
respective second scanning TFTs (15-1, 15-2), capacitors (13-1, 13-2),
and drive TFTs (12-1, 12-2) for OLED including organic EL elements (11-2,
11-2) of two pixels, for example, in a row direction. In each of the
pixel circuits, the first scanning TFT (14) handling a large amount of
current (Iw) as compare with current flowing through the OLED (11-2,
11-2), and the current-voltage conversion TFT (16) are shared between two
pixels.
