[0200] Figure 13 It is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 13 In the shown display device 200, in addition to the above-mentioned first embodiment (refer to figure 2 ) and further includes a control line drive circuit 20 and a common control line 21 for connecting the control line drive circuit 20 and the control line Ei. In this embodiment, the scanning signal line Gi is connected to the gate drive circuit 2 , and the control line Ei is connected to the control line drive circuit 20 via the common control line 21 . A row drive circuit is realized by the gate drive circuit 2 and the control line drive circuit 20 . In addition, the reason why the control line drive circuit 20 is provided separately from the gate drive circuit 2 is that in this embodiment, as will be described later, each control line Ei is driven, and here the gate drive circuit 2 i...

Abstract

Provided is a display device that can sufficiently secure a period for threshold value detection with a simple configuration and that can inhibit occurrence of luminance non-uniformity. The display device includes a plurality of pixel circuits; a gate driver circuit connected to a plurality of scanning signal lines and a plurality of control lines; and a power control circuit connected to a plurality of power lines through a common power line. Each pixel circuit includes an organic EL element, a plurality of TFTs, and a capacitor. During each frame period, after initialization and threshold value detection are collectively performed on a plurality of rows, writing and light emission are performed sequentially on a row-by-row basis. Here, in a preceding frame (first frame) of two consecutive frame periods, writing is performed in order from the first row to the nth row (ascending order). In a subsequent frame (second frame) of the two frame periods, writing is performed in order from the nth row to the first row (descending order).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a display device, and more specifically, to a display device including a self-luminous display element driven by an electric current, such as an organic EL display, and a driving method thereof. Background technique [0002] Organic EL (Electro Luminescence, electroluminescent) displays have been widely known as thin, high-quality, and low-power display devices. In an organic EL display, a plurality of pixel circuits are arranged in a matrix. The pixel circuits include an organic EL element as a self-luminous display element driven by current and a driving transistor for driving it. [0003] Methods for controlling the amount of current flowing through a current-driven display element such as an organic EL element can be broadly classified into constant current type control in which the current flowing through a display element is controlled by the current flowing through a data signal line. mode (or current-specified ...
