Abstract
A light emitting device configured to cause a series circuit in which an OLED is connected to a thin film transistor to emit light by applying a predetermined voltage to the thin film transistor includes: a forward direction voltage estimating unit configured to estimate a forward direction voltage in a case where the OLED is caused to emit light at a set light quantity; a driving current amount estimating unit configured to estimate a driving current amount required for causing the OLED to emit light at the set light quantity; a source-drain voltage calculating unit configured to calculate a source-drain voltage applied to the thin film transistor from the predetermined voltage and the forward direction voltage; and a gate-source voltage determining unit configured to determine a gate-source voltage of the thin film transistor corresponding to the source-drain voltage in a case where the driving current amount is a drain current.
