ACTIVE MATRIX TYPE DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an active matrix type display device capable of displaying a picture whose reliability is high and which is of satisfactory quality and a driving method thereof. SOLUTION: This display device has a reverse voltage applying part for applying a reverse voltage having a polarity reverse to that of a voltage which is applied to light emitting elements at the time of light emissions of the elements. The reverse voltage is applied to them at the synchronizing timing of an input video signal or in response to the supply of a power to a power source part. Or, a reverse voltage applying period is set in a period when the video is not displayed and a driving circuit driving prescribed light emitting elements is brought into conduction in this reverse voltage applying period and also the reverse voltage is applied to the prescribed light emitting elements.
