LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVE METHOD OF ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light-emitting device, a display device and a drive method of an organic electroluminescence element capable of preventing a failure due to a leak current and preventing the operating life of the device from being reduced due to such failure.

SOLUTION: The light-emitting device comprises: an organic electroluminescence element that includes a first electrode, a luminous layer disposed over the first electrode and a second electrode disposed on the luminous layer; a drive circuit that drives the organic electroluminescence element by supplying a drive current across the first electrode and the second electrode; and drive stop means that stops driving the organic electroluminescence element when the value of the drive current is lower than a predetermined value.
