Patent ID: 8581485

Claim:
An image display apparatus, comprising: a plurality of pixels, each pixel having a light emitting device, a drive transistor electrically connected to the light emitting device, a capacitor that has a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode being electrically connected to a gate electrode of the drive transistor and the second electrode being electrically connected to a data line for supplying a brightness potential, and a driving controller configured to control a potential difference to both ends of the light emitting device being equal to or more than a first threshold voltage of the light emitting device at which current starts to flow through the light emitting device, and equal to or less than a second threshold voltage of the light emitting device at which light emission is started in the light emitting device when a potential applied to the gate electrode of the driver transistor for previous light emission is reset, wherein the driving controller comprises at least one of a data line drive circuit, a first power supply circuit, a second power supply circuit, a drive control circuit, and a scan line drive circuit, and wherein a ratio of an area occupied by the drive transistor per one pixel to an area of the one pixel is equal to or more than 0.05.
