Abstract
A light source apparatus emits light image information. A reflective layer is formed on a planarization film formed on a metal substrate. LED thin films are arranged in a matrix having columns extending in first directions and rows extending in second directions perpendicular to the first directions, the LED thin films being bonded to the reflective layer by means of intermolecular force. First wires are connected to first electrodes of the LED thin films. Second wires are connected to second electrodes of the LED thin films. A first driver circuit selectively electrically drives the LED thin films, arranged in the rows, via the plurality of first wires. A second driver circuit selectively electrically drives the LED thin films, arranged in the rows, via the plurality of second wires.
