Abstract: This invention relates to a driving arrangement for voltage driving of a passive matrix self-emitting display element (1), the driving arrangement comprising: voltage application circuitry (3) for applying a voltage across said self-emitting display element (1), switching devices (4) for switching said voltage between an on and an off state, a charge monitoring unit (5) for monitoring a total charge delivered to said self-emitting display element (1) due to said voltage application circuitry (3) during a drive cycle, and feedback circuitry (9) being arranged to switch said switching devices (4) to the off state, when a predetermined total charge has been delivered to said self-emitting display element (1) by said voltage application circuitry (3) during the drive cycle. The invention also relates to a method of driving such a display element (1), as well as a passive matrix self-emitting display device, comprising a plurality of such light emitting elements (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a display device comprising a plurality of light emitting elements (1), wherein at least one of the elements has an associated capacitor (C1). The display device comprises pre-charging means (7;8) for generating a pre-charge signal for charging the associated capacitor (C1) at least partly. The pre-charging means (7;8) are adapted for generating a pre-charge signal comprising at least a first pre-charge signal in a first pre-charge stage and a second pre-charge signal in a second pre-charge stage. The pre-charge signal preferably comprises a current pre-charge signal followed by a voltage pre-charge signal. The combined pre-charge signal has the advantage of fast, but accurate pre-charging.
