- the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor 22 is canceled (corrected) by holding the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor 22 in advance in the storage capacitor 27 before the input signal voltage Vsig is written. Since a constant drain-source current Ids can be supplied to the organic EL element 21 without being affected by variations in the voltage Vth or aging, it is possible to obtain a display image of high quality (Vth of the driving transistor 22 Compensation function for fluctuations).
- the drain-source current Ids is negatively fed back to the gate input of the drive transistor 22, and the input signal voltage Vsig is corrected by the feedback amount AVs, thereby the drive transistor. Because the drain 'source-to-source current Ids dependent only on the input signal voltage Vsig can be supplied to the organic EL element 21 by canceling out the dependence of the drain' source-to-source current Ids on mobility of the 22, the movement of the drive transistor 22 It is possible to obtain a display image of uniform image quality without unevenness in luminance due to time-dependent change in degree (compensation function for mobility ⁇ of the drive transistor 22).
