To solve the problem wherein correct reproducibility in color cannot be obtained, when a spectrum is made flat with respect to the wavelength, because the color reproduction range cannot be secured in the region of light emission. In an organic EL (electroluminescence) display device, having in a pixel an organic EL element having the structure, in which a plurality of luminescent centers for exhibiting different luminous colors in a single matrix (the same organic EL material), the table of a spectral emission brightness-current characteristic is stored in a memory part 52, in advance. Under the control of a data processing part 51 and a timing processing part, deviation in the brightness or the deviation in chromaticity is reduced for each display device, by adjusting the combination of the value of a current flowing through the organic EL element and the light emission time, according to the level of inputted image data, in matching with the spectral emission luminance-current characteristic. Accordingly, proper light emission spectral characteristic is obtained, even in a material in which the current-spectral emission brightness characteristic varies according to the current flowing through the pixel.
