A light shutter array to be employed in an optical head for a color display, a color printer or the like. The light shutter array has at least three lines of shutter elements which are made of a material having an electrooptic effect. In tile lines, shutter elements which have conductor-filmed windows and shutter elements which have bare windows are staggered. The shutter elements with bare windows function as light shutters, and the shutter elements with conductor-filmed windows function as electrodes. The shutter elements with bare windows in each line are driven in accordance with red, green or blue image data.

An organic EL element driving device that drives an organic EL element with a constant current is provided. The organic EL element driving device includes a power supply connected in series with the organic EL element, and a current control unit connected in series with the organic EL element. The current control unit includes a current detection circuit having a resistor for detecting the value of the current passing through the organic EL element. The current control unit sets a prescribed value for the current to be passed through the organic EL element in accordance with the luminance control, and performs control such that the current passing through the organic EL element has the prescribed value in accordance with an output from the current detection circuit. A value of the resistor in the current detection circuit is varied in accordance with the luminance control.

A liquid crystal display device which carries out matrix driving of a liquid crystal layer by applying AC pulses to the liquid crystal layer through a plurality of scan electrodes and a plurality of data electrodes which face and cross each other. A method of driving such a liquid crystal display comprises a reset step of applying a reset pulse to liquid crystal to reset the liquid crystal to an initial state, a selection step of applying a selection pulse to the liquid crystal to select a final state of the liquid crystal, an evolution step of applying an evolution pulse to the liquid crystal to cause the liquid crystal to evolve to the selected final state. The reset pulse and the evolution pulse have alternating cycles which are longer than that of the selection pulse, and the adjustment of the alternating cycles of the reset pulse and of the evolution pulse are made by changing the pulse waveform applied to each of the scan electrodes.
