Patent ID: 8384626

Claim:
An electro luminescence display panel module, comprising: a pixel array section including a panel serving as a substrate, and a plurality of pixels disposed in a matrix on said panel and each including a pixel circuit including a drive transistor a capacitor having a first terminal connected to a gate of the drive transistor and a second terminal connected to a source or drain electrode of the drive transistor, and a write transistor connected to one of a plurality of signal lines and configured to apply potentials from the connected signal line to the gate electrode of the drive transistor and to the capacitor, and a light emitting region; and a driving circuit configured to drive the pixel circuits such that: a threshold value correction operation is carried out simultaneously for each pixel of a group of the pixels, the group comprising more than one pixels that are connected to a same signal line, wherein the threshold value correction operation includes applying a reference potential to the gate electrode of the drive transistor of the respective pixels for which the threshold value correction operation is performed, a corresponding signal potential is sequentially written into the capacitor of each pixel of the group through the same signal line after the threshold value correction operation has been completed for a given frame period, wherein the corresponding signal potential written into each pixel corresponds to a gradation value for that respective pixel for the given frame period, and a reset potential lower than the reference potential is applied to the gate electrode of the drive transistor of each pixel of the group simultaneously before any corresponding signal potential is written into a pixel of the group for the given frame; said pixel array section and said driving circuit being mounted on the same substrate.
