  • Patent number: 7864171
    Abstract: An organic EL display apparatus includes: a display panel on which a plurality of pixel sections are provided; source drivers provided with pixel drivers, which includes current drivers for supplying drive currents to the pixel sections, registers for latching data signals and timing control units; signal lines for supplying the drive currents from the current drivers to the pixel sections. Each of the current drivers is controlled by the associated timing control unit to allow a current larger than or equal to a current which is set in accordance with the data signal to flow only during a given period in a current setting mode, so that the value of a current flowing in the pixel section reaches a target value in a short time.

  • Patent number: 7477094
    Abstract: A current driving device includes a reference current source, a first MISFET connected to the reference current source, a plurality of current distribution MISFETs which constitutes a current mirror together with the first MISFET and distributes a reference current, a current input MISFET connected to the current distribution MISFETs, and a plurality of current supply sections each of which includes MISFETs constituting a current mirror circuit together with the current input MISFET and supplies a driving current for a pixel circuit. With the plurality of current distribution MISFETs provided, change in gate the potential of MISFETs in the current supply section can be suppressed, so that the generation of a crosstalk in a display device can be suppressed.
