Abstract:
A B S T R A C T A display panel includes an optical element which has a pair of electrodes and exhibits an optical operation corresponding to an electric current flowing between the electrodes, and a switch circuit which supplies a memory current having a predetermined current value to a current line during a selection period, and stops the supply of the memory current to the current line during a non-selection period. A current memory circuit stores current data corresponding to the current value of the memory current flowing through the current line during the selection period and, in accordance with the current data stored during the selection period, supplies a display current having a current value substantially equal to the memory current to the optical element during the non-selection period.
Abstract:
A driving device which supplies a current to a plurality of current?driven optical elements (Ep) to drive the optical elements includes at least a driving current supply circuit (133) which supplies a driving current to each optical element for a predetermined period, and a control voltage applying circuit (132) which applies a charge voltage having a voltage value corresponding to a voltage to be applied to each optical element using the driving current, before the driving current is supplied. The driving current supply circuit (133) includes a single constant current generating circuit (10A, 10B, 10C) which outputs a constant current having the same current value as that of a driving current, and a plurality of current storage circuits (30A, 30B, 30C) which sequentially receive and hold the constant current and output the driving current on the basis of the constant current.
Abstract:
A current drive apparatus for an active matrix display operates a plurality of loads, e.g. organic or inorganic EL elements, by applying a current thereto. The apparatus includes a plurality of output terminals (Tout) to which the loads are respectively connected. A single current generation circuit (10A) comprising e.g. a digital to analogue converter and a current mirror, outputs an operating current having a predetermined current value. A plurality of current storage circuits (30A) are provided in accordance with the respective output terminals, sequentially sample and hold (40A) the operating current and then simultaneously output (EN) the drive currents based on the sampled operating currents to the respective output terminals. The operating current has a current value according to an input signal. The current storage circuit (30A) includes a voltage component holding section which samples the operating current outputted from the current generation circuit and holds a voltage component for driving a drive control current corresponding to a current value of the operating current for driving a second current mirror.
