ELECTRIC FIELD LUMINESCENT DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the driving method of an electric field luminescent display device capable of performing a tone display having satisfactory control property and capable of performing an operation of lower power consumption. SOLUTION: One frame period of an electric field luminescent display device in which electric field light emitting elements are arranged in a matrix shape and selection transistors and driving transistors are connected to these electric field light emitting elements is divided into eight subframes. These subframes are consisting of light emission setting times Ton and address periods Tadd being the same times in all subframes and different light emission driving voltages or driving currents are set so as to be impressed in respective subframes. Since, a tone level for every pixel is made different according to in which subframe among the eight subframes the pixel is selected, a tone expression is made possible.
