  • a display device using an organic electroluminescence (EL) element As a display device using a current-driven light emitting element, a display device using an organic electroluminescence (EL) element is known. A display device using this organic EL element is optimal for reducing the thickness of the device because a backlight necessary for a liquid crystal display device is unnecessary.

  • the organic EL elements constituting the pixel are arranged in a matrix, and the organic EL element emits light by controlling a driving element that supplies current to the organic EL element.
  • a switching thin film transistor is provided at the intersection of a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines, a capacitor is connected to the switching TFT, and the switching TFT is turned on through the selected scanning line.
  • the data voltage corresponding to the light emission luminance is input to the capacitor from the signal line.
  • the capacitor is connected to the gate electrode of the drive element. That is, the data voltage is applied to the gate electrode of the driving element.
  • a current is supplied to the organic EL element by the driving element even during a period when the switching TFT is not selected.
  • a device in which an organic EL element is driven by such a drive element is called an active matrix type organic EL display device.
  • the voltage-current characteristics of the drive elements do not always have the same characteristics when the same voltage value is held in the capacitor. In other words, even when the same voltage value is held in the capacitor, currents having different current values may flow. For example, when 0V is supplied to the electrode on the reference voltage side of the capacitor, and the voltage supplied to the electrode connected to the gate of the driving element of the capacitor is lowered from -3V to -6V, the accumulated voltage value is 6V. The current value corresponding to the voltage value in the case of the current value and the voltage supplied to the electrode connected to the gate of the capacitor drive element increased from -9V to -6V, resulting in an accumulated voltage value of 6V. In this case, the current value corresponding to the voltage value is different. This is because the voltage-current characteristic of the drive element is a so-called hysteresis characteristic.
  • FIG. 12 is a graph showing an example of voltage-current characteristics of the drive element.
  • the voltage-current characteristic of the drive element has a hysteresis characteristic. Therefore, even when the gate-source voltage of the drive element is the same, a current larger than a desired current value or a small current flows. Or

  • the reference voltage Vref is 0V.
  • the gate-source voltage of the driving TFT 504 is always applied in the direction of increasing the voltage when writing the data voltage. Therefore, it is possible to prevent afterimages due to the hysteresis of the voltage-current characteristics of the driving TFT 504. That is, the display device described in Patent Document 1 resets the capacitor by writing a signal voltage corresponding to black data to the capacitor, and corresponds to the data voltage corresponding to the emission luminance of the organic EL element 505 in the reset capacitor. By writing the signal voltage, the afterimage generation is solved.

  • the potential of the source electrode of the driving TFT changes depending on a predetermined time constant depending on the characteristics of the light emitting element, and this time constant is determined by the capacitance component and the DC resistance component of the light emitting element.
  • the direct current resistance component of the light emitting element increases, and thus increases as the light emitting element approaches the off state. That is, the potential of the source electrode of the driving TFT is not stable.
  • the voltage-current characteristics of the driving TFT are in an initial state in a non-light emitting period in which the light emitting element emits light in one frame period. It is difficult to secure a certain amount of time. That is, a sufficient reset effective time Tr cannot be secured. Therefore, even when the same data voltage is written to the pixel, a current larger than a desired current value or a small current flows to the light emitting element depending on the state of the pixel in the previous frame. As a result, there is a problem that an afterimage occurs. In other words, there is a problem that an afterimage is generated due to a transient state of the voltage-current characteristic of the driving TFT.
  • the non-light emitting period is lengthened to ensure the reset effective period Tr so that the voltage-current characteristics of the TFT are in the initial state
  • the light emitting period during which the light emitting element emits light is shortened in one frame period. Therefore, in order to reduce the display brightness or make the display brightness comparable, there is a problem that the operating load of the light emitting element is increased and the life is shortened in order to increase the instantaneous light emission intensity.

In other words, the time until the voltage between the gate and the source of the driving element becomes a constant voltage can be shortened. That is, the voltage between the gate and the source of the driving element can be kept constant for a longer time by the shortened time. Therefore, the voltage-current characteristics of the drive element can be substantially set to the initial state without lengthening the non-light emission period. Therefore, it is possible to secure a desired display luminance and prevent the occurrence of an afterimage due to a transient state in which the voltage-current characteristics of the drive element change transiently.
