Patent ID: 7142180

Claim:
An image display having a display area made up of a plurality of pixels respectively including a light emission element, comprising: a memory unit, provided in each of the plurality of pixels, to store a signal representing an image to be display, the signal being provided through a signal line, the memory unit including both a first switching element to ON/OFF-switch a signal and a capacitance to store the signal ON-switched by the first switching element, an input terminal of the first switching element being connected to the signal line and an output terminal of the first switching element being connected to a first terminal of the capacitance; a switching drive voltage input circuit, connected to a triggering terminal of the first switching element through a drive line, to trigger the first switching element; and an inverter unit, provided in each of the plurality of pixels, to invert the signal stored in the capacitance and to provide the signal inverted to the light emission element, the inverter unit including both an inverter to invert the signal having been stored in the capacitance and a second switching element connected to the inverter to ON/OFF-switch the inverter, a triggering terminal of the second switching element being connected to the switching voltage input circuit through a reset line.
