Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: an available pixel section having a plurality of available pixel circuits arranged to form a matrix as available pixel circuits each including a switching device through which pixel video data is written into said available pixel circuit; a plurality of scan lines each provided for an individual one of rows of said available pixel circuits arranged on said available pixel section to form said matrix and each used for controlling conduction states of said switching devices each employed in one of said available pixel circuits provided on said individual row; a plurality of capacitor lines each provided for any individual one of said rows and each connected to said available pixel circuits provided on said individual row; a plurality of signal lines each provided for any individual one of columns of said available pixel circuits arranged on said available pixel section to form said matrix and each used for propagating said pixel video data to said available pixel circuits provided on said individual column; a driving circuit for selectively driving said scan lines and said capacitor lines; a monitor circuit having at least two of following three correction systems a switch for selectively supplying pixel electric potentials detected by said first monitor pixel section and said second monitor pixel section to a desired one of said two or three correction systems in accordance with a selection pattern determined in advance, wherein each of said available pixel circuits includes a display element having a first pixel electrode as well as a second pixel electrode and a storage capacitor having a first electrode as well as a second electrode, in each of said available pixel circuits, said first pixel electrode of said display element and said first electrode of said storage capacitor are connected to one terminal of said switching device, in each of said available pixel circuits provided on any individual one of said rows, said second electrode of said storage capacitor is connected to said capacitor line provided for said individual row, and said common voltage signal with the level thereof changing at time intervals determined in advance is supplied to said second pixel electrode of each of said display elements through a common-voltage signal line common to all said available pixel circuits.
