Abstract:
1. A method of driving a display device which includes a display part having M columns×N rows of pixels and s memory, wherein each of the pixels including a light emitting element and a driving transistor for driving the light emitting element, the method comprising: a first step of applying a driving voltage to the driving transistors of said each pixel thereby turning on the light emitting element thereof, and detecting a value of current which flows in the light emitting element of said each pixel at times other than a usual light emitting time, a second step of calculating correction data for said each pixel based on the value of current detected in the first step; a third step of storing the correction data of said each pixel calculated in the second step; and a fourth step of applying a driving voltage based on data, which is obtained by adding the correction data stored in the memory to video signal data, to the driving transistor of said each pixel at the usual light emitting time, wherein in the third step, a number of the correction data of low gray scales storing in the memory is larger than a number of the correction data of high gray scales storing in the memory, to correct finer in low gray scales than high gray scales.
