DISPLAY AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE DISPLAY

摘要

A display comprising: an electro-optical material arranged between first and second planes facing each other; a first substrate arranged on the first plane and including a conductor that affords an electrical signal to the electro-optical material; a first electrically conductive film arranged on the second plane to afford an electrical signal to the electro-optical material; a second electrically conductive film arranged outside an area sandwiched between the first and second planes; and a current detection circuit that detects the current on the second electrically conductive film. The display further comprises a control circuit that, during a time period the current is detected by the current detection circuit, applies substantially the same voltage as that applied to the second electrically conductive film to one of the conductor and the first electrically conductive film, which is arranged more proximate to the second electrically conductive film, and sets the other in a floating state, or applies substantially the same voltage as that applied to the second electrically conductive film to both the conductor and the first electrically conductive film.
