- the present invention relates to an active matrix display device using a current-driven light emitting element typified by organic EL, and a driving method thereof, and more particularly to a display device having a high power consumption reduction effect and a driving method thereof.
- the luminance of the organic EL element depends on the driving current supplied to the element, and the light emission luminance of the element increases in proportion to the driving current. Therefore, the power consumption of a display composed of organic EL elements is determined by the average display luminance. That is, unlike the liquid crystal display, the power consumption of the organic EL display varies greatly depending on the display image.

- the organic EL element is a current driving element, a current flows through the power supply wiring, and a voltage drop proportional to the wiring resistance occurs. For this reason, the power supply voltage supplied to the display is set by adding a margin for the voltage increase accompanying the voltage drop.

Abstract
Description
以下、本発明の実施の形態1について、表示装置が消費電力低減効果を得るための最小構成として、検出点を一点(M1)備え、モニタ用配線(検出線ともいう)と接続されている場合について、図を用いて具体的に説明する。
本実施の形態に係る表示装置は、実施の形態1に係る表示装置と比較して、可変電圧源へ入力される基準電圧が、電位差検出回路で検出された電位差ΔVの変化に依存して変化するだけでなく、入力された映像データからフレームごと検出されたピーク信号にも依存して変化する点が異なる。以下、実施の形態1と同じ点は説明を省略し、実施の形態1と異なる点を中心に説明する。また、実施の形態1と重複する図面については、実施の形態1に適用された図面を用いる。
実施の形態3では、実施の形態1とは別の例、すなわち表示装置が消費電力低減効果を得るための最小構成として検出点を一点(M1)備え、モニタ用配線(検出線)と接続されている場合の別の例について説明する。本実施の形態に係る表示装置は、実施の形態2に係る表示装置100とほぼ同じであるが、電位差検出回路170Aを備えず、検出点M1の電位が可変電圧源に入力される点が異なる。また、信号処理回路は、可変電圧源に出力する電圧を必要電圧VTFT+VELとする点が異なる。これにより、本実施の形態に係る表示装置は、電圧降下量に応じてリアルタイムに可変電圧源の出力電圧Voutを調整できるので、実施の形態2と比較して、画素輝度の一時的な低下を防止できる。以下、このことについて、図を用いて具体的に説明する。
以下、本発明の実施の形態4について、表示装置が消費電力低減効果を得るための構成として、検出点を複数点(M1~M5)備え、それらがモニタ用配線(検出線)と接続されている場合について説明する。
本実施の形態では、実施の形態4とは別の例、すなわち表示装置が消費電力低減効果を得るための構成として、検出点を複数点(M1~M5)備え、それらがモニタ用配線(検出線)と接続されている場合の別の例について説明する。本実施の形態に係る表示装置は、実施の形態4に係る表示装置300A及び300Bと同様に、2以上の発光画素111のそれぞれについて高電位側の電位を測定し、測定した複数の電位のそれぞれと可変電圧源の出力電圧との電位差を検出する。そして、その検出結果のうち、最大の電位差に応じて、可変電圧源の出力電圧が変化するように、可変電圧源を調整する。ただし、本実施の形態に係る表示装置は、表示装置300A及び300Bと比較して、電位比較回路で選択された電位が信号処理回路ではなく、可変電圧源に入力されている点が異なる。
実施の形態1~5では、表示装置が消費電力低減効果を得るための構成、すなわち消費電力を低減するために1本ないし複数本の検出線(モニタ用配線)を用いて発光画素の電源電圧をモニタする構成について説明した。実施の形態6では、表示装置が消費電力低減効果を最大限得るための構成として、表示部が設けられたパネル上に、中継部を設けることによって、検出線(モニタ用配線)をパネル外に引き出す引出数(出力線ともいう)の数を削減する構成について説明する。
