LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE AND ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE ELEMENT DRIVING METHOD

摘要

Provided are a light emitting device and an organic electroluminescence element driving method with which it is possible to carry out highly reliable color variability control. A light emitting device comprises: an organic electroluminescence element (10A) in which the color of the emitted light changes according to an applied current value; a drive circuit (20) which supplies a drive waveform to the organic electroluminescence element (10A); and a control means for varying the current value of the drive waveform and/or the lighting performance in the drive circuit (20) according to a desired color of the emitted light, further comprising a correcting function which corrects the current value of the drive waveform and/or the lighting performance which is applied according to drift in the color of the emitted light commensurate with a change in temperature of the organic electroluminescence element (10A).
