Patent ID: 8325176

Claim:
A driving method for an organic electroluminescence light emitting section which uses pixel circuit including a driving transistor and a writing transistor, the driving transistor being connected between a current supplying section and a light emitting section, the writing transistor being connected to a data line, the driving method comprising: applying a correction voltage to a gate of the driving transistor from the data line through the writing transistor; applying an image signal to the gate of the driving transistor from the data line through the writing transistor, said applying the correction voltage to the gate and applying the image signal to the gate occurring separately and cumulatively contributing to a potential difference between the gate of the driving transistor and the source of the driving transistor; and supplying current from the current supplying section to the light emitting section through the driving transistor corresponding to the value of the potential difference between the gate of the driving transistor and the source of the driving transistor, wherein the value of the correction voltage is a value which depends upon the image signal applied from the data line.
