Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display device includes first and second scanning lines, first and second signal lines, first to fourth thin-film transistors, and first to third pixel electrodes. The first and second signal lines are arranged to intersect with the first and second scanning lines. The first thin-film transistor is connected to the second scanning line and the first signal line. The first pixel electrode is connected to the first thin-film transistor. The second thin-film transistor is connected to the first scanning line and the first pixel electrode. The second pixel electrode is connected to the second thin-film transistor. The third thin-film transistor is connected to the first scanning line and the second pixel electrode. The third pixel electrode is connected to the third thin-film transistor. The fourth thin-film transistor is connected to the second scanning line, the third pixel electrode, and the second signal line.
