    摘要: A signal processing device includes a measuring unit, a conversion efficiency calculation unit, and a conversion efficient deterioration value calculation unit. The measuring unit outputs levels of driving signals having different magnitudes every update period to drive a pixel circuit and measures the luminance of the pixel circuit when driven accordingly. The conversion efficiency calculation unit calculates a conversion efficiency value of the pixel circuit based on the relationship between driving current value and luminance value. The conversion efficiency deterioration value calculation unit compares the conversion efficiency value of the pixel circuit with a conversion efficiency value of a correction reference state, calculates a conversion efficiency deterioration value corresponding to an elapsed time from the correction reference state, and updates luminance deterioration information with the conversion efficiency deterioration value.

A display panel has a display region in which a plurality of display elements are arranged two-dimensionally, each display element including a first organic EL element and a pixel circuit, and a non-display region in which one adjustment pixel including a second organic EL element is disposed. A power-supply voltage adjusting circuit sets a value as a latest power-supply voltage, the value being given by adding voltage variation, which is obtained when a constant current having a magnitude necessary for light emission with white luminance (the highest gray level) of the second organic EL element is applied to the second organic EL element, to an initially set power-supply voltage. A power line drive circuit sequentially applies the set power-supply voltage to power lines.

    摘要: The invention provides a pixel circuit that can cancel the influence of the mobility of a drive transistor. A drive transistor supplies to a light-emitting element, an output current dependent upon an input voltage during a certain emission period. The light-emitting element emits light with a luminance dependent upon a video signal in response to the output current supplied from the drive transistor. The pixel circuit includes a correction unit that corrects the input voltage held by a capacitive part before the emission period or at the beginning of the emission period, in order to cancel the dependence of the output current on the carrier mobility. The correction unit operates during part of a sampling period in response to control signals supplied from scan lines. Specifically, the correction unit extracts the output current from the drive transistor while the video signal is sampled, and negatively feeds back the output current to the capacitive part to thereby correct the input voltage.
