<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain sufficient light emitted brightness without driving organic EL elements at an inadequate duty ratio, in a method for driving an organic EL matrix panel. <P>SOLUTION: In a method for driving a matrix type organic EL element having a plurality of row-directional electrodes (6) and a plurality of column- directional electrodes (3) arranged via an organic light emitting layer in-between and capable of displaying a predetermined image, a same scanning voltage amplitude pattern is selectively applied to two or more row-directional electrodes according to the scanning voltage amplitude pattern applied to the row- directional electrodes (6) and the electrodes are scanned at the same time, and a signal voltage pattern applied to the row-directional electrodes (3) is individually applied to the electrodes to be scanned in the direction of row by each independent two or more column-directional electrodes, and thus image information to be displayed in a single frame are formed by scanning two or more scanning lines at the same time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
