Abstract: An erasing TFT 13 is provided between a gate terminal of a driving TFT 11 and a control line Ei, and a gate terminal of the erasing TFT 13 is connected to the control line Ei. When performing data erase, a potential not lower than a sum of a potential of a power supply line Vp and a threshold voltage of the erasing TFT 13 is applied to the control line Ei before performing data write, and an organic EL element 15 is controlled to be in a non-light-emitting state. A high level potential applied to a control line Wi is a potential at which a writing TFT 12 is maintained in an OFF state when a potential applied to a data line Sj is a high level potential corresponding to the non-light-emitting state. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent electrooptic elements from emitting light unnecessarily along with changes of potentials of the control lines without increasing the number of power supply or wiring.

Abstract: A method is provided for improving metallic nanostructure stability. The method provides a substrate, and using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process for example, deposits metallic nanostructures having a first diameter overlying the substrate. Some examples of metallic nanostructures include Ag, Au, and Al. The metallic nanostructures are annealed in an atmosphere including an inert gas and H2. The annealing temperature is less than the melting temperature the metal material in bulk form. In response to the annealing, stabilized metallic nanostructures are formed. If the stabilized metallic nanostructures are exposed to an ambient air environment the stabilized metallic nanostructure maintain the first diameter. Typically, the metallic nanostructures are initially formed having a rectangular shape with corners. After annealing, the stabilized metallic nanostructures have a dome shape.
