Patent ID: 7944413

Claim:
An organic EL display comprising an insulating substrate, pixels arranged in a matrix form on the insulating substrate, and video signal lines arranged correspondently with columns which the pixels form, wherein each of the pixels comprises: a drive control element which includes a control terminal, a first terminal connected to a first power supply terminal, and a second terminal outputting a current with a magnitude corresponding to a voltage between the control terminal and the first terminal; an organic EL element which includes a first electrode, a second electrode connected to a second power supply terminal, and an active layer interposed between the first and second electrodes; an output control switch which is connected between the second terminal and the first electrode; a switch group which switches an electrical connection between first and second states, the first state being a state that the second terminal, the video signal line, and the control terminal are electrically connected to one another, and the second state being a state that the second terminal, the video signal line, and the control terminal are electrically disconnected from one another; and a capacitor which is connected to the control terminal, wherein a first conductive path electrically connecting the first electrode to the first power supply terminal and a second conductive path electrically connecting the second terminal to the video signal line are broken in a part of the pixels.
