Provided is an image display device in which deterioration of a self-light-emitting element within a pixel is corrected accurately. A driver transistor provided in each pixel to drive the self-light-emitting element is driven in a saturation region. A voltage detection unit detects a voltage across the self-light-emitting element of each pixel, which is observed when a constant current is supplied to the self-light-emitting element. When the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit exceeds a threshold voltage, one of a reference voltage and a power supply voltage is controlled to keep an operation region of the driver transistor to the saturation region in every one of a plurality of the pixels of the image display device.

An organic electroluminescence display device is provided having a display section including a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix; and a detection section for detecting a luminance characteristic of an OLED element in each of the pixels. The detection section includes a first path for allowing a detected characteristic value to pass therethrough and a second path for attenuating the detected characteristic value. A first switch is provided for the first path whereas a second switch is provided for the second path, the second switch being opened when the first switch is closed. The detected characteristic value having passed through any one of the first path and the second path is input to a same analog-to-digital converter to be converted into a digital quantity.

An image display with high brightness where a long time can be secured for light emission of self-luminous elements can be implemented using only line memories.The period for the writing in of a display voltage (period for writing in of data) continues for a number of lines (three lines), and the reset pulse becomes of a “high” state. Subsequently, operation for three lines is carried out collectively during a triangular wave period (period for writing in of a triangular wave voltage), and only the light emission controlling pulse becomes of a “high” state. During the period for the writing in of a triangular wave voltage, the writing in of a triangular wave voltage from the second time onward is rewriting of a triangular wave voltage, and thus, the period for rewriting the display voltage (dotted line portion) becomes unnecessary, and a longer period for light emission, where the light emission controlling pulse becomes of a “high” state, can be secured.

A display device is capable of improving display quality. A data line drive circuit outputs a display signal voltage to data lines in a first period. Each pixel holds the display signal voltage with reference to a voltage determined based on characteristics of the drive transistor. In a second period, a control voltage for controlling the drive transistor is output to the data lines. The drive transistor generates a drive current in accordance with the control voltage and the held signal voltage so as to allow the self-luminous element to emit light. After the second period, a third period is provided in which a voltage signal for setting a control terminal of the drive transistor to have a given correction voltage is output to the data lines. The first period follows the third period.
