Abstract

This invention provides a display apparatus in which it is possible to have a light emitting element emitted light with constant luminance without coming under the influence of deterioration over time, and it is possible to realize accurate gray scale express, and yet, it is possible to speed up writing of a signal current to each pixel, and influence of noise of a leak current etc. is suppressed, and a driving method thereof. A plurality of pairs of switch parts and current source circuits are disposed in each pixel. Switching of each of a plurality of the switch parts is controlled by a digital video signal. When the switch part is turned on, by a current supplied from the current source circuit making a pair with the switch part, the light emitting element emits light. A current which is supplied from one current source circuit to the light emitting element is constant. A value of a current flowing through the light emitting element is comparable to a value of added currents which are supplied to the light emitting element from respective all current source circuits making pairs with the switch parts which are in the conductive states.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a display device using a light emitting element and a driving method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to an active matrix type display device and a driving method thereof in which a light emitting element is provided for each pixel and a transistor for controlling light emission of the light emitting element is provided. Background technique [0002] Display devices having light emitting elements have been developed over the years. In particular, active matrix type display devices have been developed in which one light emitting element and one transistor for controlling light emission of the light emitting element are provided for each pixel. [0003] In an active matrix type display device, a technique mainly used is to input luminance information into each pixel through a voltage signal or to input luminance information into each pixel through a current signal. The former is called a voltage...
