  • Patent number: 8089428
    Abstract: In an image display apparatus using an FED or an organic EL element, image display that is high in illumination uniformity and high in image quality can be performed. A display element with a matrix structure which conducts linear sequential driving which determines the luminance by a current is used, a threshold voltage of a cathode line immediately before one select period has been terminated where a control electrode line is sequentially driven is measured by a threshold voltage measuring section, the measured threshold voltage is recorded for each of the pixels, and a driving signal at the time of selecting the pixel is corrected by using the value of the recorded threshold voltage, to thereby control electric charge that is emitted from a cathode.

  • Patent number: 7714507
    Abstract: The recent invention provide an organic electroluminescence display device with color purity adjustment, particularly white purity increased, without increasing formation processes. For each of unit pixels formed on an insulating film INS formed on a principal surface of a glass substrate, a bank BNK is provided on a bottom electrode BEL being a pixel electrode. The bank BNK has the shape of a bank that surrounds a pixel concerned, for each of pixels, and an organic electroluminescence light emitting layer is charged within a region surrounded by the banks BNKs. Between the banks BNKs, a green light emitting layer (G light emitting layer), a blue light emitting layer (B light emitting layer), and a red light emitting layer (R light emitting layer) are provided.

  • Patent number: 7518577
    Abstract: An image display device which has a stable luminous brightness among pixels. An on/off control switch 15 for stopping the driving operation of a light emitting element 13 is provided in a pixel 1. A change in the luminous brightness caused by a variation in the characteristic of the light emitting element 13 is suppressed by feeding a result measured by a current measuring circuit provided in one end of a power line 4 back to a drive signal for the light emitting element 13.

  • Patent number: 7286105
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image display capable of performing high-precision multi-gradation display while avoiding problems of a subtle noise and increase in a drive frequency. Display signal data of one frame is constructed by a plurality of sub frames of, for example, four sub frames 1/4 to 4/4. The 1/4 frame is set as an address period of an analog signal, the 2/4 frame is set as an analog gradation display period, the 3/4 frame is set as an address period of a digital signal, and the 4/4 frame is set as a digital gradation light emission period.
