Abstract: An EL display device includes a display screen; a first gate signal line; a second gate signal line; gate driver ICs (circuits); a current generating circuit which supplies a current to EL elements; a current amount obtaining circuit which obtains a magnitude of a current flowing through a plurality of pixels; and an on-voltage generating circuit which generates a control voltage output by the gate driver IC (circuit) to the first gate signal line. Each of the pixels includes a first switching transistor. The control voltage is a voltage which causes the first switching transistor to be in a conducting state. The on-voltage generating circuit varies a first control voltage based on an output result from the current amount obtaining circuit.
