20080218451 | Organic electroluminescence display - The voltage-current property of the specific pixel is measured to store the data on a single line in a line memory.

20080218452 | Image display apparatus - When an organic EL display apparatus enables display of a standard luminance mode and a high luminance mode, it takes long time to reset the gate potential of the OLED drive TFT to a given value in a standard mode. In the reset operation of the gate potential of an OLED drive TFT at the time of writing an image signal, in a standard mode, a precharge current is allowed to flow in the OLED element for a short period before the reset operation to set an initial value of the gate potential of the OLED drive TFT to be close to a supply potential or a reference potential. With the above operation, the variation of the OLED drive TFT gate potential after resetting is reduced. As a result, the light emitting period during one frame can be extended. Also, since a blanking period can be extended, it is possible to measure the characteristic of the OLED element by using the blanking period. | 09-11-2008 |
