Abstract:
In the respect of an electrical characteristic of a transistor, a channel size W/L of a transistor is preferably designed small in order to decrease an effect of a variation in threshold voltage, while the channel size W/L is preferably designed large in order to widen a saturation region as an operation region of the transistor in the respect of characteristic of a light emitting element. Thus, decreasing an effect of a variation in threshold voltage and widening a saturation region in order not to reduce luminance due to a degradation of the light emitting element are in the relation of trade-off. According to the invention, a current capacity of a driving transistor is increased so as to operate in a wide saturation region. A lighting period control circuit is provided in each pixel for changing a lighting period of each pixel separately. Another configuration of the invention includes a plurality of transistors, for example a first driving transistor and a second driving transistor, and a lighting period control circuit for controlling a lighting period of the light emitting element in each pixel.
