Patent ID: 8687024

Claim:
An active matrix display apparatus, comprising: plural gate lines and plural source lines which are arranged such that the plural gate lines respectively intersect the plural source lines; light-emitting element circuits which are provided to respectively correspond to intersections at which the plural gate lines intersect the plural source lines, respectively; and an unevenness correction driver for applying a voltage for correcting unevenness of luminance emitted from selected light-emitting elements such that the luminance emitted from each light-emitting element is substantially the same, wherein each of the light-emitting element circuits includes: a light-emitting element for emitting light according to a current supplied thereto; a drive transistor for controlling a current supplied to the light-emitting element according to an image signal; and a control transistor for controlling writing of the image signal to the drive transistor through the source line, according to a scan signal input to the control transistor through the gate line; and wherein the drive transistor has a body terminal, the body terminal of the drive transistor is connected to the unevenness correction driver, the drive transistor is configured to correct luminance of the light-emitting element using the voltage for correcting unevenness which is applied to the body terminal by the unevenness correction driver, and the voltage for correcting unevenness is applied to the body terminal of the drive transistor according to film thickness variation of light-emitting layers of the light-emitting element included in the light-emitting element circuit.
