Abstract

Based on the results of detection of characteristics of drive transistors and organic EL elements, a control circuit finds magnitudes of threshold shifts of the drive transistors and the organic EL elements. A power supply voltage control unit sets a value of a low-level power supply voltage to a value lower, by a voltage value corresponding to an average value of the magnitudes of the threshold shifts for all pixels, than a value at an initial point in time. Furthermore, the power supply voltage control unit adjusts a value of a high-level power supply voltage, depending on magnitudes of mobilities obtained by detection of characteristics of the drive transistors.
