Patent ID: 7876295

Claim:
A light emitting display including a multiplicity of elements arranged in rows and columns, wherein each elements includes a light-emitting means which emits light when a current flows through the light-emitting means, a first current control means which is connected in series with the light-emitting means, and a first and a second switching means which are arranged between a control signal line and a control electrode of the first current control means, wherein the control signal line is connected to one end of the series connection of the first and second switching means of a multiplicity of elements, wherein a control electrode of a second current control means is connected to the control signal line such that the first current control means of a multiplicity of elements and the second current control means connected to the control signal line at least temporarily form a corresponding multiplicity of current mirror circuits connected in parallel when the respective first and second switching means of the multiplicity of elements are conducting, and wherein the first and the second switching means are opened or closed responsive and second logical switching signals, which first and second logical switching signals are connected to a multiplicity of elements in a line or a column, respectively.
