Patent ID: 8013811

Claim:
An image display device comprising: a display portion which comprises a group of pixels of two or more types, each pixel including a diode for emitting light whose primary wavelength is specific to the type of the pixel; means for generating analog pixel signals to be input to the group of pixels, said means for generating analog pixel signals comprising performing a first conversion of input digital pixel data into output digital pixel data in accordance with a type of each pixel and a second conversion of the output digital pixel data into the analog pixels signals that is separate from the first conversion and independent of the type of each pixel, the output digital pixel data comprising more bits than the input digital data; and switch for inputting the analog pixel signals to the group of pixels, each pixel including light emission driving driver for driving said diode for emitting light according to the analog pixel signal written in the pixel, wherein said light emission driving driver drives each of said diode for emitting light with a drive current, selected from a group of different drive currents, appropriate for each type pixel, wherein a quantity of tone values used for display is equal in the input digital pixel data and the output digital pixel data.
