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.

In a display apparatus including a switching transistor, a correction voltage for eliminating an effect of a variation in a characteristic of a driving transistor is stored in a storage capacitor. The switching transistor is disposed between one current terminal of the driving transistor and a light emitting element. The switching transistor turns off during the non-light emission period thereby to electrically disconnect the light emitting element from the one current terminal of the driving transistor thereby preventing a leakage current from flowing through the light emitting element during the period in which the correction unit operates, and thus preventing the correction voltage from having an error due to the leakage current.

Disclosed herein is a sampling transistor in an embodiment of the present invention is kept at the on-state with a time width shorter than one horizontal cycle, during the period from the rising of a control pulse supplied from a scanner to a scan line WS to the falling of the control pulse, and samples a video signal from a signal line SL to write the video signal to a hold capacitor. The sampling transistor includes the channel region between the source and the drain and has a sandwich gate structure in which a shield that electrically shields the channel region is disposed on the other side of the channel region. This suppresses change in the threshold voltage of the sampling transistor.

The invention provides a pixel circuit that can cancel the influence of the mobility of a drive transistor. A drive transistor supplies a light-emitting element with an output current dependent upon an input voltage. 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 in order to cancel the dependence of the output current on the carrier mobility.

A display device capable of reducing power consumption, a method of driving the display device, and an electronic device having the display device are provided. 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.

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.
