US Patent 9761648 Image display apparatus

An image display apparatus includes: a first pixel circuit including a driving transistor that drives a light emitting element and includes a gate electrode on a substrate, a semiconductor layer and a pair of source-drain electrodes; a second pixel circuit disposed adjacent to the first pixel circuit; a second pixel electrode that is formed above the second pixel circuit and is electrically connected to one of the pair of source-drain electrodes of the driving transistor of the first pixel circuit; and a top metal electrode that is electrically connected to one of the pair of source-drain electrodes and is formed to cover at least an entire channel region of the semiconductor layer from above.
