Patent number: 10311791Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to suppress the fluctuation of a data line voltage that occurs when an analog voltage signal is sampled and held in a data line in a display device provided with a current-driven display element. Transistors (SWr, SWG, SWb) of each demultiplexer (252) are successively switched on, for each predetermined period, in a selection period of a write control line (SW_LR(i)). In a period when the transistor (SWr) is switched on, an analog video signal (Dj) from a data voltage output unit circuit (211d) is applied to a data line (SLrj) and a pixel circuit (50r). When the transistor SWr is then switched off, the voltage held by the data line (SLrj) decreases below the voltage of the analog video signal (Dj) due to a parasitic capacitance (Cssdr). However, the voltage of a voltage fluctuation compensation line (G3_Cnt (i)) changes from a low level to a high level within the selection period.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masanori Ohara, Hideki Uchida, Katsuhiro Kikuchi, Satoshi Inoue, Yuto Tsukamoto, Eiji Koike, Kazuo Takizawa, Noboru Noguchi, Noritaka Kishi
