Abstract: An electric current driving display device includes pixel circuits, a scanning signal output circuit and a display signal output circuit. The pixel circuits include intersecting scanning lines and data lines. Each pixel circuit includes an electro-optical element and a drive element having a control terminal connected to the data line through a switching element. The scanning signal output circuit selects a write-target pixel circuit using the scanning line, and controls the selected pixel circuit outputs, to the data line, a voltage which depends on a threshold voltage of the drive element. The display signal output circuit applies, to the data line, a voltage obtained by adding or subtracting a correction voltage corresponding to the threshold voltage to or from a data voltage corresponding to display data, based on the voltage outputted to the data line.

Abstract: A color conversion film that absorbs light from an organic electroluminescent part emitting blue-green light and converts the light to visible light at a longer wavelength. The color conversion film includes two different dyes. A first dye is a polymer dye with an average molecular weight of 1000 to 1,000,000 that absorbs light incident on the color conversion film and transfers the energy of the light to a second dye. The second dye is a dye that receives the energy from the first dye and emits light. With a multicolor-emitting, organic electroluminescent device including the color conversion film, it is possible to achieve excellent conversion efficiency without increasing the thickness of the color conversion film as in a conventional device using a binder resin. Such an organic electroluminescent device may include as well a pair of electrodes at least one of which is a transparent electrode, and an organic electroluminescent layer sandwiched between the electrodes.
