Abstract
As a scanning line turns high so as to turn on a first transistor, luminance data is set in a gate electrode of a second transistor and thus an organic light emitting diode emits light. As a signal at a control signal line becomes high so as to turn off a third transistor, the organic light emitting diode is cut off from a power supply line and turns off. A control circuit outputs a signal for the control signal line. Based on this signal outputted from the control circuit, on and off of the organic light emitting diode is controlled, so that intermittent light emission in the organic light emitting diode is realized.
Claims20
A display apparatus which includes a shutoff circuit provided between a current-driven optical element and a power supply and which controls said shutoff circuit at timing independent of timing that sets luminance data for said optical element, so that said optical element emits light intermittently.
A display apparatus, including:
- a shutoff circuit which shuts off a current-driven optical element from a power supply;
- and
- a control circuit which controls said shutoff circuit,
- wherein said control circuit controls said shutoff circuit at timing independent of timing that sets luminance data for said optical element, so that said optical element emits light intermittently.
