Abstract: When a distortion is compensated by a predistorter
method, a distortion can satisfactorily be compensated-by a
simple arrangement. A limit operation can be made in such a
manner that when a generated predistortion signal is held at a
value smaller than a first level, this predistortion signal is
not added to an input signal and that when a generated
predistortion signal is held at a value larger than a second
level which is larger than the first level, this predistortion
signal is added to an input signal as a predetermined fixed
value.

Abstract: A display device and a method for driving the same are
disclosed. The display device confirms whether display data
applied to a display panel are uniformly maintained for a
predetermined time. As a result of confirmation, if the display
data are uniformly maintained for a predetermined time, pixels of
the display panel are made for a predetermined block unit so that
screen save modes are performed to sequentially apply screen save
mode data to pixels of each block. The screen save modes are
completed after there are sequentially performed for all blocks
on the display panel. Thus, uniform luminance deviation can be
obtained on the display panel of the display device and further
picture quality of the display device can be improved.

Abstract: A light emitting device with a simple and easy structure without waste is
provided, in which a change of luminance of an OLED is suppressed and a desired
color display can be stably performed even if an organic light emitting layer is
somewhat deteriorated or an environmental temperature is varied. A driving current
of the OLED of a pixel portion is measured, and a value of the voltage supplied to the
pixel portion from a variable power supply is corrected such that the measured driving
current has a reference value. When the driving current of the OLED is measured, a
monitor video signal of a different system from that of a video signal for displaying
an image is used to display a monitor image on the pixel portion. With the above-described
structure, a reduction of the luminance accompanied with the deterioration
of the organic light emitting layer can be suppressed. As a result. a clear image can
be displayed.

Abstract: A reduced-size bipolar supply voltage generator is
disclosed which produces positive and negative voltages
from a unipolar power source (16). A single inductor (10)
is employed for current switching operation, where
electric energy supplied from a power source is stored in
magnetic form, and the stored magnetic energy is released
as electric energy. First and second diodes (11, 12) are
connected to first and second ends of the inductor,
respectively. The inductor is grounded at the first end
via a first switch (13), while its second end is connected
to the power source via a second switch (14). A switching
controller (15) activates both switches to energize the
inductor. It then deactivates the first switch alone,
thus directing the inductor's energy to the positive
voltage output through the first diode. The controller
may turn off the second switch alone after energizing the
inductor. The stored energy now appears at the negative
voltage output through the second diode.
