DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING SAME

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a display device capable of suppressing an effect from noise produced while detecting a current in order to compensate for the degradation in a circuit element. An organic EL display device includes a current monitor unit for outputting a digital measured value in accordance with a measured current acquired by measuring a current flowing in a circuit element, and an averaging unit (36) for determining the average value of a plurality of input values. The current monitor unit measures the current flowing in a circuit element in the same pixel circuit a plurality of times within a fixed amount of time. The averaging unit (36) receives a plurality of measured values outputted from the current monitor unit in the fixed amount of time as a plurality of input values for each pixel circuit, and outputs an average value of the plurality of digital measured values as a value used during compensation operation which compensates for the degradation in each circuit element.
