Abstract:
1. A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising: a power supply line drive circuit configured to drive power supply lines connected to pixels that are arranged in a matrix on a self-luminous display panel, wherein in an emission period of a self-luminous element, the power supply line drive circuit supplies, to one of the power supply lines that is directly connected to a current terminal of a drive transistor in at least one of the pixels, a first drive potential giving maximum drive amplitude and a second drive potential that gives intermediate drive amplitude and has a waveform shaped into a pulse form in such a way that a predetermined peak luminance level is obtained in the emission period whose both end positions are fixed, and in a non-emission period of the self-luminous element, the power supply line drive circuit supplies, to the power supply line, a third drive potential for setting the self-luminous element to a non-emission state.
