Display apparatus, driving method for display apparatus and electronic apparatus

Abstract

The invention provides a display device and a driving method thereof as well as electronic equipment. Uniformity of pictures is improved by a display device in block driving. The display device includes: a pixel array section including scanning lines disposed in rows, signal lines disposed in columns, and pixels arranged in rows and columns at places at which the scanning lines and the signal lines intersect with each other; and a driving section configured to drive the pixels through the scanning lines and the signal lines. The driving section carries out block-sequential driving, wherein the scanning lines are grouped for each predetermined number to form blocks and the pixels disposed in rows and columns are sequentially driven in a unit of a block and line-sequential driving, the scanning lines are scanned in each of the blocks to sequentially drive the pixels in a unit of a row. Control is carried out such that orderly driven scans between adjacent blocks are provided with opposite directions, therefore, adjacent last pixel row at front block and opening pixel row at rear block both become the row which is the last or the first one to carry out ordered linear scan; driving conditions about time are the same such that difference of brightness between two pixel rows may not be brought.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an active matrix display device using a light-emitting element as a pixel and a driving method thereof. In addition, it also relates to electronic equipment including such a display device. Background technique [0002] In recent years, development of planar self-luminous display devices using organic electroluminescence (EL) devices as light-emitting elements has been widely carried out. An organic EL device is a device that utilizes the phenomenon that an organic thin film emits light when an electric field is applied. Since it is driven at an applied voltage of 10V or less, the organic EL device has low power consumption. In addition, since the organic EL device is a self-luminous element that emits light by itself, it does not require lighting components, and it is easy to reduce weight and thickness. In addition, since the response speed of the organic EL device is very high in the order of several microseconds,...

Problems solved by technology

Regardless of whether the last row of pixels in the previous block is adjacent to the first row of pixels in the next block, from the perspective of driving conditions, the order of line sequential scanning becomes the last and the first, and the driving conditions in time are extremely different, which is shown in the two Subtle luminance differences between pixel rows cause reduction in uniformity of the screen
