Each pixel ( 21 ) includes a plurality of light emitting regions ( 11 R, 11 G, and 11 B) corresponding R, G, and B each having an organic EL layer ( 3 ), and a plurality of TFT elements ( 12 ) provided corresponding to the light emitting regions to control light emission in the respective light emitting regions. The light emitting regions are provided in a zigzag manner and adjacent light emitting regions are kept from contacting one another. Each pixel ( 21 ) is divided into six segments ( 22 a to 22 c and 23 a to 23 c), and the light emitting regions are arranged in three segments ( 22 a to 22 c) in a zigzag manner. In this way, in a bottom emission type, active matrix organic EL display, a sufficient aperture ratio can efficiently be secured, and pixels can be arranged so that the aperture ratio is hardly a trade off for higher resolution. Therefore, power consumption for obtaining necessary luminance can be reduced, and this can contribute to downsizing of the driving circuit and the device as a whole.
