<p>A light emitting display device using a drive circuit formed of only unipolar thin film transistors, which suppresses effects of characteristic shifts of transistors, and is applicable to large, high-resolution light emitting displays. The device includes a pixel having an organic EL device (LED) and a drive circuit thereof. In a current writing period, the drive circuit sets TFT3, TFT4 and TFT5 ON and sets a ground line and one end of LED to the same voltage through TFT3. A current from a data line is supplied to transistors L-TFT and D-TFT forming a current mirror circuit through TFT4 and TFT5, and a voltage between gate and source terminals of L-TFT and D-TFT is retained in a capacitor. During a LED driving period, TFT3, TFT4 and TFT5 are interrupted, and a current flowing between the source and drain of D-TFT is supplied to LED according to the retaining voltage.</p> |
