Abstract
A comparator unit includes: a comparison section configured to compare a control pulse with an electric potential based on a signal voltage; and a control section configured to control, based on the control pulse, operation and non-operation of the comparison section.
Claims7
A display comprising:
- a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix, the pixels each including a light-emission section and a drive circuit configured to drive the light-emission section, such that there are a plurality of light emission-sections,
- the drive circuit including
- a comparator section configured to compare a control pulse with an electric potential based on a signal voltage, and to output a predetermined voltage based on a comparison result, and
- a light-emission section driving transistor configured to supply a current to the light-emission section in response to the predetermined voltage from the comparator section, thereby allowing the light-emission section corresponding to the drive circuit to emit light, and
- the comparator section including
- a signal writing transistor configured to receive the signal voltage, an inverter circuit, and a capacitor configured to include an input point and an output point, and compares a voltage of the output point with a predetermined voltage,
- control circuitry configured to receive the control pulse, and to perform ON-OFF operation based on a signal of a phase opposite to a phase of a signal used by the signal writing transistor, and
- the capacitor is configured to retain, based on operation of the signal writing transistor, the electric potential based on the signal voltage.
