Abstract: In an active-matrix display device using a three-terminal element (10) for a selection element (10) of a pixel (PIX), a conduction control terminal (11) of the three terminal element (10) is formed by using wiring (12) extended from a scanning signal line (GL) to the pixel (PIX) through the area of a pixel (PIX) other than the pixel (PIX) which is the pixel (PIX) selected by the (three) terminal element (10). This provides the realization of a display device which is hardly likely to produce a feed-through effect.
