時記億該比較結果。然而,設定電流量乃於測試用之資料 電壓Vdata,爲自畫素電路20規格上非輸出不可之電流 値,爲預先試驗或邏輯上所得之値。 暫時記憶此此較結果,新使用不同値之測試用資料電 壓Vdata,將同樣之測試,對於有機電激發光顯示器10 加以進行。然後,檢查裝置1 9乃與前述同樣地,將1各 電流檢出電路1 9a所求得之畫素電路20之檢出電流値,

After the elapse of time 11, the supply switching transistor Q 12 and the first gate transistor Q 1 are turned off, and the first selection signal S L1 and the first gate signal G 1 are terminated. . At this time, the detection transistor Q 1 4 and the light-emission control transistor Q 1 3 are supplied to the second selection signal SL2 which is turned on and off. Then, the control circuit 17 supplies the second gate signal G2 that turns the second gate transistor Q2 to the on state of each of the switching circuits 16a of the selection circuit 16, and turns on the second gate transistor Q2. In the pixel circuit 20, a drive current of a current 相对 with respect to the data voltage Vdata for testing according to the operation of the driving transistor Q 1 1 flows in accordance with the opening of the second gate transistor Q2. At this time, the driving current from the driving transistor Q11 is output to the scanning line Yn of the inspection device 19 by the detecting transistor Q1 4 and the second gate transistor Q2.

In the inspection device 19, the current detecting circuit 19a provided in each of the pixel circuits 20 of the respective scanning lines Y1 to Yn digitally converts the input output current, and outputs the current 値 as the detected bubble 値, respectively. Get it. Then, the inspection device 19 compares the detected currents 画 of the pixel circuits 20 obtained by the respective current detecting circuits 19a with the current 设定 set for the data voltage V d at a for testing. Then, the inspection device 1 9 is temporarily -18-1293748 (15). However, the set current amount is the data voltage Vdata for the test, which is a non-output non-current current 规格 of the self-pixel circuit 20 specification, which is a pre-test or logically obtained 値. For this temporary comparison, the new test data voltage Vdata is used, and the same test is performed for the organic electroluminescent display 10. Then, in the same manner as described above, the inspection device 19 compares the detected currents 画 of the pixel circuits 20 obtained by each of the current detecting circuits 19a with the set current 値 for the data voltage Vdata for testing.

The inspection device 19 checks the output current characteristics of the driving transistor Q11 for the data voltage Vdata of each pixel circuit 20 based on the comparison result of the two different test data voltages Vdata. Then, the inspection device 19 determines the characteristics of the respective pixel circuits 20 to be the characteristics of the target (specification) and obtains a correction 每 for each of the pixel circuits 20. That is, the correction 値AVd for the data voltage Vdata of the set luminance is obtained for each pixel circuit 20. The inspection device 19 outputs the corrected 値AVd of each of the obtained pixel circuits 20 to the organic electroluminescent display 10. The correction 値AVd obtained by each pixel circuit 20 is stored in the memory 17a, which is stored in the non-volatile memory of the control circuit 17, and terminates the test mode. However, in the present embodiment, although it is stored in the memory 1 7 a, the risk of setting the correction 形成 is formed, and the insurance may be cut off based on the inspection result of the inspection device 19. Then, the control circuit 17 uses the correction data ΔAVd when converting the display material (image data) from the computer 18 into the matrix data indicating the gradation of the light emission of each of the organic EL elements 2 1 .

The control circuit 17 outputs the new data voltage vdata of each pixel circuit 20 as a data line drive signal to the data line drive circuit i2. Therefore, it is possible to detect variations in the operational characteristics of the respective pixel circuits (each of the electromorphs; in particular, the driving transistor Q 1 1) generated by the manufacturing variations. Further, the difference in the operational characteristics of the respective pixel circuits 20 can be corrected for the luminance of the data voltage Vd at a of the organic EL elements 21 of the respective pixel circuits 20. Further, when the detection current is not within the reference range, the inspection device 19 determines whether the product is ready for shipment or not when the pixel circuit 20 determines that it is inoperable. Next, the characteristics of the organic electroluminescence display 1 constructed as described above are described below.

Then, the control circuit 17 corrects the data voltage Vdata of the luminance of the organic EL element 21 of each pixel circuit 20 obtained based on the display data by the corresponding correction 値 Δ Vd . - Therefore, each pixel circuit 20 can supply the driving current of the current 値 of the data voltage Vdata according to the display data to the organic EL element spring element 2, and the same organic electroluminescence element can be used for the same brightness. Glow it. Further, the pixel elements 20 can be corrected by the correction 値 ΔVd to correct the operational characteristics of the manufacturing defects, and the organic electroluminescence display which is discarded by the conventional defective product can be improved as an organic electroluminescence light. The manufacturing yield of the display. (3) In the present embodiment, the detected drive current is supplied to the current detecting circuit 19a using the existing data lines X1 to Xm. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the scale of the circuit for current detection.

Then, the control circuit 17 compares the current 驱动 of the drive current supplied from the data lines XI to Xm of the respective AD converters 32a to the set current 値 of the data voltage Vdata for testing, and memorizes the comparison result. . The control circuit 17 checks the output current characteristics of the driving transistor Q11 for the data voltage Vdata of each pixel circuit 20 based on the comparison result of the different data voltages Vdata for testing. Then, the control circuit 17 obtains a correction 于 for each pixel circuit 20 so that the characteristics of the respective pixel circuits 20 become the target (specification). That is, the correction 値 Δ Vd for the data voltage Vdata of the set brightness is obtained for each pixel circuit 20. The control circuit 17 terminates the test mode by storing the obtained correction 値 Δ Vd in the memory 17 7a as a memory circuit.
