Abstract:
A display device comprising:an organic EL display section including a plurality of cathode electrodes formed in a stripe-like manner and a plurality of anode electrodes formed in a stripe-like manner and arranged in a direction perpendicular to said cathode electrodes, resulting in display pixels being defined in a matrix-like manner;a display drive circuit for driving said anode electrodes in order and driving said cathode electrodes depending on a video signal for every horizontal line, to thereby permit said EL display section to execute image display;said display drive circuit including an FET element arranged for each of said cathode electrodes and being so constructed that a drain current obtained depending on a voltage for the video signal applied to a gate of each of said FET elements may be fed in the form of a drive current to each of said cathode electrodes.
