Abstract
In a current drive circuit, variation in output current is reduced. A current adjustment section and a current output section generate a grayscale according to a target grayscale. The current adjustment section generates an intermediate current lint, which is a reference current Iref multiplied by a first coefficient, and the current output section generates an output current Iout, which is the intermediate current Iint multiplied by a second coefficient. The minimum value of the first coefficient is set in advance such that when the first coefficient is at a minimum value the voltage at a node (for the minimum grayscale) is greater than or equal to a predetermined first value which is larger than the operation threshold voltage of PMOS transistors in the current output section.
