An image display device and method of driving an image display device with alternative repeating of an emission period during which the light emitting element is made to emit light and a non-emission period during which light emission of the light emitting element is stopped. The terminal voltage of a storage capacitor is set to the voltage of a signal line, whereby light emission luminance of the light emitting element in a next emission period is set.

Image display apparatus including a non-emission period lowering the gate and source voltage of the drive transistor

A display unit with which luminance is able to be improved and a wide view angle is able to be secured while increase of the power consumption is inhibited is provided. The display unit includes a first region placing priority on front face luminance in which an aperture ratio of a light emitting region is relatively small, a second region placing priority on view angle luminance in which the aperture ratio of the light emitting region is relatively large, and a drive means for driving the first region and the second region.

Display unit with organic light emitting devices

Disclosed herein is an image display device including a display section, a signal line driving circuit, and a scanning line driving circuit. The display section is formed by arranging pixel circuits in a form of a matrix. The signal line driving circuit is configured to output a driving signal for a signal line to the signal line of the display section. The scanning line driving circuit is configured to output a driving signal for a scanning line to the scanning line of the display section. The pixel circuits each include at least a light emitting element, a driving transistor configured to drive the light emitting element connected to a source by a driving current corresponding to a gate-to-source voltage, a storage capacitor configured to retain the gate-to-source voltage, and a writing transistor configured to set a terminal voltage of the storage capacitor by a voltage of the signal line.

Image display device and driving method of image display device

A display device includes an anode electrode provided for each pixel, an opening insulation film which covers the periphery of the anode electrode and which defines an pixel opening, and a storage capacitor disposed below the anode electrode through a planarizing insulation film, having a function to store charge for driving a pixel, and including capacitor electrodes wider than the pixel opening.

Display device and electronic apparatus

The present invention disposes a switch transistor between a driving transistor and a light emitting element, and sets the switch transistor in an off state during a non-emission period. Thereby, a variation in threshold voltage of the driving transistor is corrected while destruction of the light emitting element due to a reverse bias is avoided.

Pixel circuit in image display device including a storage capacitor with the voltage more than the threshold voltage of the driving transistor by lowering a drain voltage of the driving transistor

A display apparatus includes: a display area formed by disposing pixel circuits in a matrix; a signal line drive circuit for generating drive signals for signal lines in accordance with image data, and outputting the drive signals for the signal lines to signal lines of the display area, respectively; and a scanning line drive circuit for outputting write signals to scanning lines for write of the display area, respectively; wherein when there is no change in the image data, the scanning line drive circuit stops the write signals from being outputted.
