DISPLAY PANEL AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a gray scale display by a time gray scale method with lower power consumption in an active matrix type display panel using current controlling type light emitting elements. SOLUTION: In the pixel connected to a selected scanning line, a driving signal with the information to emit light or not to emit light of the light emitting element of the pixel is applied through a signal line, while an electric current is supplied by a switching means to the light emitting element in the pixel driven to emit light by the signal. The light emitting time of the light emitting element is controlled by modulating the on-state period of the switching means to obtain a gray scale display.
