Abstract: Disclosed is an image display apparatus having, in every pixel, a light-emitting element such as an organic electro-luminescence (EL) element of which the brightness is controlled by a current. The image display apparatus includes transistors that form a current mirror in the pixel and using a pixel structure having two scan lines, so as to select pixels of at least two rows simultaneously, distribute the current applied to the data line to the pixel for recording display information and the adjacent pixel, and record the display information on the pixel of no more than one row among the selected pixels. This drastically increases the current for driving the data line and decreases the size of the transistors that form the current mirror in the pixel.

Abstract: In a display, capacitors are charged with first precharge voltages at the time of applying selection signals to previous scan lines. A data driver divides a plurality of data lines into a plurality of groups each of which consists of at least one data line and applies corresponding data voltages to the data lines of respective groups sequentially. The display further includes a precharge means, and such precharge means applies second precharge voltages to data lines of at least one group before selection signals for selecting scan line are applied to the scan line connected to the pixel circuits and stops application of the second precharge voltages before corresponding data voltages are applied to the respective groups. In this way, it is possible to solve the problem of poor images due to charge redistribution of the capacitors caused by previous data voltages stored in parasitic capacitors.

Abstract: An organic electroluminescence display and a method of operating the organic electroluminescence display are disclosed. A pixel array unit, including a plurality of pixels, is divided into at least two pixel groups adjacent to each other. The first pixel group is selected by a first scan driving unit and the second pixel group is selected by a second scan driving unit. Scanning lines for selecting the first pixel group extend into the first pixel group and scanning lines for selecting the second pixel group extend into the second pixel group. Accordingly, each scanning line is reduced in length and thus impedance of the scanning line is decreased. The reduction of impedance prevents delay or distortion of scan signals.

When a first high level voltage is input to the first transistor's gate, the second transistor is bootstrapped according to the voltage charged to the capacitor so that a first low level voltage is substantially output to the contact point.
