Abstract: In a display panel, main and sub pixel electrodes are connected to first and second drain electrodes of a thin film transistor, respectively, to receive a data voltage during a 1 H period as main and sub pixel voltages. A main storage electrode overlaps the main pixel electrode to receive a first common voltage that varies with the gate pulse and the polarity of the data voltage. A sub storage electrode overlaps the sub pixel electrode to receive a second common voltage that is uniformly maintained at a constant voltage level. The sub pixel voltage is uniformly maintained by the second common voltage, but the main pixel voltage is shifted up or down by the first common voltage. Thus, the main pixel voltage may have a voltage level higher than that of the sub pixel voltage.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided in which a transistor which supplies a current to a load (an EL pixel and a signal line) can supply an accurate current without being affected by a variation. A voltage of each terminal of a transistor is controlled by using a feedback circuit using an amplifier circuit. A current Idata is inputted from a current source circuit to a transistor and a gate-source voltage (a source potential) required for the transistor to flow the current Idata is set by using the feedback circuit. The feedback circuit is controlled to operate so that a drain potential of the transistor becomes a predetermined potential. Then, a gate voltage required to flow the current Idata is set. By using the set transistor, an accurate current can be supplied to the load (an EL element and a signal line). As a drain potential can be controlled, the kink effect can be reduced.
