Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The electro-optic device includes a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of pixel areas arranged at crossings of the data lines and the scan lines, and light emitting elements, wherein first pixel areas are in alternating columns, each first pixel area including only one pixel circuit configured to cause the light emitting elements to emit light, wherein second pixel areas are in alternating columns between the first pixel areas, each second pixel area including two pixel circuits configured to cause the light emitting elements to emit light, and wherein a writing process is performed on the second pixel areas to cause light emitting elements on the pixel circuits on one side to emit light in a period for causing light emitting elements on the pixel circuits on the other side to emit light.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electro-optic device, comprising: a plurality of pixels at intersections of a plurality of data lines and scan lines, the plurality of pixels including a plurality of first pixels and a plurality of second pixels, wherein: the first pixels are in alternating columns, each of the first pixels including a first light emitting element and only one pixel circuit to cause the first light emitting element to emit light, and the second pixels are in alternat…
