  • Patent number: 7221349
    Abstract: A display current of a whole gray scale range according to a display signal of four bits is produced from a sum of output currents of an analog current supply circuit producing a first output current according to lower data bits and two digital current supply circuits operating in accordance with corresponding data bits to execute or stop generation of second and third output currents according to higher data bits. The analog current supply circuit has a calibration function of compensating for output current variations due to transistor characteristics at one point in a control range of the first output current. A display device with light-emitting elements can accurately generate a display current for gray-scale expression without imposing an excessive load on a manufacturing process while suppressing circuit footprint.
