Patent ID: 8237639

Claim:
An image display device comprising: row scan lines configured to supply control signals; column signal lines configured to supply a video signals; and pixel circuits disposed at intersections between the row scan lines and the column signal lines, each of the pixel circuits including a drive transistor having a first source/drain area connected to a light emitting element; a first switching transistor having a first source/drain area connected to a first reference potential and a second source/drain area connected to a gate of the drive transistor, a gate of the first switching transistor being connected to a first row scan line; a second switching transistor having a first source/drain area connected to a second reference potential and a second source/drain area connected to the first source/drain area of the drive transistor, a gate of the second switching transistor being connected to a second row scan line; and a third switching transistor having a first source/drain area connected to a power source and a second source drain area connected to a second source/drain area of the drive transistor, a gate of the third switching transistor being connected to a fourth row scan line; wherein one of said first row scan line and said second row scan line is connected to a scan line for correction of another pixel circuit in the next row; and wherein said third switching transistor is connected to said drive transistor and is configured to turn on at a start of a mobility correction period performed for a period of time in which an end portion of a period of time for sampling, and a lead portion of a period of time for light emission overlap each other, that precedes light-emission of the light emitting element.
