A display device for displaying an image using matrix driving includes: an emission element corresponding to each pixel to be displayed, disposed on L lines, with the scanning direction as lines; a display portion whereby the M lines worth of the emission elements are simultaneously driven; and a connection unit for connecting an on-substrate wiring line extracted from the emission element of the display portion externally; with the connection units including connection terminals for connecting each of the on-substrate wiring lines externally, and at least a part of the connection terminals being arrayed two-dimensionally so as to make up M columns; and with each of the M columns worth of the connection terminals being connected with the on-substrate wiring lines which are thinned out (M−1) wiring lines at a time.
