1. An electronic device comprising:
a display panel;
a folding axis about which the display panel is foldable;
a circuit element layer which is foldable about the folding axis, the circuit element layer including:
a plurality of transistors including:
a first transistor including a first semiconductor pattern;
a second transistor electrically connected to the first transistor and including a second semiconductor pattern; and
the first semiconductor pattern and the second semiconductor pattern on the same layer of the circuit element layer,
a connection pattern which is in a same material layer and extends continuously between the first semiconductor pattern and the second semiconductor pattern to electrically connect the first transistor and the second transistor to each other, and
the connection pattern on a different layer of the circuit element layer from the same layer on which the first semiconductor pattern and the second semiconductor pattern are disposed; and
a light emission element connected to the circuit element layer.
