Abstract:
A self-luminous display device includes: pixel circuits; and a drive circuit, wherein each of the pixel circuits includes a light-emitting diode, a drive transistor connected to a drive current channel of the light-emitting diode, and a holding capacitor coupled to a control node of the drive transistor, the drive circuit applies a light emission enabling bias to the light-emitting diode after correcting the drive transistor and writing a data voltage to the control node, provides, during a light emission enabled period in which the light emission enabling bias is applied, a light emission interruption period adapted to change the light emission enabling bias to a non-light emission bias with the data voltage held by the holding capacitor, and performs a light emission disabling process, adapted to reverse-bias the light-emitting diode to stop the light emission, for a constant period after the light emission enabled period.
Abstract:
A display panel driving method for controlling the total light emitting period length within a one-field period includes placing a first light emission period, a second light emission period, and a third light emission period within the one-field period, and adjusting, in a state in which a period length from a starting timing of the first light emission period to an ending timing of the third light emission period is at least 25% and at most 75% of a one-field period length, a first no-light emission period between the first light emission period and the second light emission period and a second no-light emission period between the second light emission period and the third light emission period.
Abstract:
A self-luminous display panel driving method for driving a self-luminous display panel of the active matrix driving type, includes the step of executing threshold value correction operation for a driving transistor divisionally in a plurality of periods within at least one of which, after a point of time of an end of a preceding correction period till a point of time of a start of a succeeding correction period, a potential to be applied to the drain electrode of the driving transistor is controlled to an intermediate potential between a first potential for lighting driving of the driving transistor and a second potential for initialization applied within a preparation period of the first one of the correction periods.
Abstract:
A drive section driving a plurality of pixel circuits by line-sequential scanning is provided. On a plurality of the pixel circuits belonging to one horizontal line, the above-described drive section performs a first preparation drive based on a first voltage in a first preparation period, then performs a second preparation drive based on the first voltage in a second preparation period, and performs writing of luminance information in a subsequent writing period. The second preparation period ends at a timing out of the first preparation periods of other horizontal lines.
