There is disclosed an image display device including a thin film EL element with crossing scan electrodes and data electrodes, a modulation circuit for applying data pulses of a varying amplitude to the respective ones of the data electrodes, and a scan circuit for applying pulses of a fixed amplitude to the respective ones of the scan electrodes. The data pulses are supplied to the data electrodes via voltage follower drive stages which form part of the modulation circuit. Preferably, the data signals are digital-to-analog converted and held in a memory circuit for a while. Upon application of stepwise waveform signals in the memory circuit the data signals are thereafter digital-to-analog converted. The resulting analog amplitude from the digital-to-analog conversion is temporarily held in a gate capacitance and supplied to the EL element via the voltage follower drive stage.
