Abstract

A light emitting device and an element substrate which are capable of suppressing variations in luminance intensity of a light emitting element among pixels due to characteristic variations of a driving transistor without suppressing off-current of a switching transistor low and increasing storage capacity of a capacitor. A gate potential of a driving transistor is connected to a first scan line or a second scan line, and the driving transistor operates in a saturation region. A current controlling transistor which operates in a linear region is connected in series to the driving transistor. A video signal which transmits a light emission or non-emission of a pixel is input to the gate of the current controlling transistor through a switching transistor.
