Wherein, L1 represents the length of the narrow portion 310a and L2 represents the length of the other portion 310a.
When the ratio between the line width W2 and W0 is obtained based on the length of the narrow portion 310a and the length of the other portion 310a according to the present exemplary embodiment using the equation 1, it is noted that, in the case where the width W1 of the narrow portions 310a is set to be about 1/10 of W2, W2 is set to be about twice W0.
Eleventh Exemplary Embodiment of Electro-Optical Device
The power source bus line 310 includes narrow portions 310a at the intersection between the power source bus line 310 and the display data signal lines 53, thereby to reduce the length of the bypass wiring line 57 of the display data signal line 53.
The bypass wiring line 57 is made of Si containing impurities with a much higher sheet resistance value than that of Al or AlSiCu of the alloy of Al, of which the display data signal line 53 is formed as mentioned above. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the total amount of wiring line resistance by reducing the length of the bypass wiring line 57. Since the narrow portion of the power source bus line intersects the bypass wiring line 57 of the display data signal line, it is possible to reduce the area of the intersection between the bypass wiring line 57 and the power source bus line, thereby to reduce the parasitic capacitance generated at the intersection.
In the case where a wiring line layer with the bypass wiring line 57 is also formed of a material with a small sheet resistance value such as Al or AlSiCu of the alloy of Al, it is possible to simplify the structure of the wiring layer by arranging the power source bus line 310 and the display data signal line 53 in different wiring layers so that they can intersect each other without one bypassing at the intersection as above.
In this regard, the narrow portion 310a of the power source bus line 310 intersects the display data signal lines 53, and thus it is possible to reduce the area of the intersection. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the parasitic capacitance generated in the corresponding intersection.
In
Here also, the narrow portion 310a of the power source bus line 310 intersects the display data signal line 53. Thus, it is possible to reduce the area of the intersection between the display data signal line 53 and the power source bus line 310 and thereby to reduce the parasitic capacitance generated in the corresponding intersection.
Twelfth Exemplary Embodiment of Electro-Optical Device
According to the tenth and eleventh exemplary embodiments, only one power source bus line 310 is provided at one side of the frame portion 101 where the mounting terminal portion 102 is provided corresponding to all of the red, green, and blue electro-optical elements (not shown). However, the electro-optical device of the present exemplary embodiment provides separate power source bus lines for the respective red, green, and blue electro-optical elements. Therefore, it is possible to supply the optimal driving voltage to the respective color electro-optical elements even if the optimal driving voltages of the respective colors electro-optical elements vary.
As illustrated in
Conditions such as the sizes of narrow portions 320a, 321a, and 322a provided in the respective power source bus lines 320, 321, and 322 are the same as those of the electro-optical device according to the tenth exemplary embodiment. According to the present exemplary embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the tenth exemplary embodiment. Furthermore, current is supplied from the independent power source bus lines to the red, green, and blue electro-optical devices, and thus it is possible to appropriately control the driving voltages supplied to the red, green, and blue current-driven elements. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an electro-optical device with excellent efficiency and a suppressed display unevenness.
According to a modification of the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which is illustrated in
Thirteenth Exemplary Embodiment of Electro-Optical Device
The power source bus lines 340, 341, and 342 have narrow portions 340a, 341a, and 342a at the intersections between the power source bus lines 340, 341, and 342 and the display data signal line 53. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the length of the bypass wiring line 57 of the display data signal line 53. According to the present exemplary embodiment, the distance between the power source bus lines in the narrow portions 340a, 341a, and 342a is almost equal to that at the other portions, so that it is possible to further reduce the total of the widths of the narrow portions and the distances between the power source bus lines and thereby to further reduce the length of the bypass wiring line 57.
In the case where the wiring line layer with the bypass wiring line 57 is made of a material with a small sheet resistance value such as Al or AlSiCu of the alloy of Al, it is possible to simplify the structure of the wiring layer by arranging the power source bus lines 340, 341, and 342 and the display data signal line 53 in different wiring layers that intersect each other without bending at the intersection as mentioned above.
Here also, the narrow portions 340a, 341a, and 342a of the power source bus lines 340, 341, and 342 intersect the display data signal line 53. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the areas of the intersection and thereby to reduce the parasitic capacitance generated in the corresponding intersection.
In
Here also, the narrow portions 340a, 341a, and 342a of the power source bus lines 340, 341, and 342 intersect the display data signal line 53. Thus, it is possible to reduce the area of the intersection and thereby to reduce the parasitic capacitance generated in the corresponding intersection.
In another aspect, part of the narrow portion 340a of the power source bus line 340 (the inclined line portion of the narrow portion 340a in
In another aspect, the plurality of narrow portions is almost symmetric with respect to the central line P (
Electronic Apparatus
Exemplary embodiments of an electronic apparatus with the electro-optical device will now be described.
In the electronic apparatuses illustrated in
The electro-optical device and the electronic apparatus according to the present exemplary embodiment are described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above exemplary embodiment and can be modified within the scope of the present invention.
For example, the seventh exemplary embodiment illustrated in
Furthermore, the ninth exemplary embodiment illustrated in
According to the fourth, fifth, eighth, and ninth embodiments, the number of power source bus lines is three so as to supply current to the respective red, green, and blue current-driven elements. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, two power source bus lines, one for the red current-driven element and the other for the green and blue current-driven elements may be used. According to the present structure, it is possible to appropriately control the current values supplied to the current-driven elements of the respective colors of red and green+blue. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an electro-optical device with excellent efficiency and suppressed display irregularity. Furthermore, it is possible to make the entire electro-optical device be a structure with excellent balance compared to a case where three power source bus lines are used.
According to the present exemplary embodiment, the narrow portions are formed in the power source bus line at the intersection between the power source bus line and the display data signal lines. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it is possible to make the width of the power source bus line uniform, to form narrow portions in the display data signal lines in the vicinity of the intersection with the power source bus line, or it is possible to form narrow portions in both the power source bus line and the display data signal lines at the intersection between the power source bus line and the display data signal lines. According to these structures, it is possible to reduce the parasitic electrostatic capacitance of the display data signal line and thereby to precisely supply current to the electro-optical element as in the above exemplary embodiment.
According to the above exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in
For example, as illustrated in
Furthermore, as illustrated in
According to twelfth and thirteenth exemplary embodiments, the number of power source bus line is three, so as to supply current to the respective red, green, and blue electro-optical elements. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, two power source bus lines, one for the red electro-optical element and the other for the green and blue electro-optical elements may be provided. According to the above structure, it is possible to appropriately set the voltages supplied to the red electro-optical element and to the green and blue electro-optical elements, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an electro-optical device with excellent efficiency and with a suppressed display irregularity. Furthermore, when an even number of power source bus lines is used, it is possible to have the excellent wiring line balance for the entire electro-optical device compared to the case where an odd number of power source bus lines is used.
Advantages
As mentioned above, according to the present invention, it is possible to narrow the frame. Also, it is possible to prevent the current unevenness and brightness unevenness without widening the frame and thereby to improve the display quality of the electro-optical device and the electronic apparatus.
Furthermore, according to the present invention, a narrow portion is provided at the intersection between the power source bus line and the display data signal line either in the power source bus line or in the display data signal line. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the parasitic electrostatic capacitance of the display data signal line. When the wiring line not provided with the narrow portion has a bypass wiring line layer with larger specific resistance, it is possible to reduce the length of the bypass wiring line and thereby to prevent the increase in the resistance of the corresponding wiring line. Therefore, it is possible to precisely supply current to the electro-optical element and thereby to obtain the excellent light emitting gray scale characteristic.
