Patent ID: 8638277

Claim:
A display device, comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, each of the plurality of pixels comprising: a light emitting element, comprising an anode and a cathode, which emits light in accordance with a drive current flowing through the light emitting element from the anode to the cathode; a drive element for controlling the drive current to be supplied to the light emitting element in accordance with a data signal representing a target luminance of the light emitting element; and a correction unit for correcting the data signal to be supplied to the drive element in accordance with a voltage at the anode of the light emitting element, wherein the correction unit comprises a multiplier circuit having the data signal and the voltage at the anode of the light emitting element as inputs; wherein the correction unit corrects the data signal so that the drive current to be supplied to the light emitting element in accordance with the data signal increases with an increase in the voltage at the anode of the light emitting element.
