Compensating voltage drop for display device

摘要

To compensate for voltage drop on a power supply line. In a display device, pixel data is supplied to each of a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix form and display is performed. Each pixel has a self-emissive element. A horizontal direction power supply line (horizontal direction PVDD) which supplies a power supply to each pixel is provided, and one end of the horizontal PVDD line is connected to a vertical power supply line (vertical PVDD line) that is connected to an external power supply terminal. Correction data corresponding to a voltage drop to the horizontal PVDD line due to a resistance in the vertical PVDD line is then obtained through a calculation based on pixel data, and the input pixel data is corrected using the correction data so as to reduce the influence of the voltage drop on the pixel current.
