Abstract
A unit quantity of electricity is input to each pixel of a plurality of pixels according to image data so that the each pixel emits a predetermined light. The luminance of the predetermined light per unit quantity of electricity is smaller as electric resistance value of each pixel become larger. A high resistance pixel having a relatively high electric resistance value or a low resistance pixel having a relatively low electric resistance value is detected among the plurality of pixels. The unit quantity of electricity is adjusted for at least one of the high resistance pixel and the low resistance pixel.
Claims16
A light emitting display device, comprising.
- a display panel comprising an emitting device which forms a plurality of pixels;
- an input processor that inputs a unit quantity of electricity to each pixel of said plurality of pixels according to image data so that each pixel in said plurality of pixels emits a predetermined light, the luminance value of said predetermined light per unit quantity of electricity being smaller as the electric resistance value of said each pixel becomes larger;
- and
- a detecting processor that detects at least one of a high resistance pixel having a relatively high electric resistance and a low resistance pixel having a relatively low electric resistance among said plurality of pixels;
- wherein said input processor adjusts said unit quantity of electricity for at least one of said high resistance pixel and said low resistance pixel, said unit quantity of electricity supplied to said high resistance pixel being increased relative to said unit quantity of electricity supplied to said low resistance pixel, or said unit quantity of electricity supplied to said low resistance pixel being decreased relative to said unit quantity of electricity supplied to said high resistance pixel.
A device according to claim 13, wherein said input processor adjusts said unit quantity of electricity, based on said relation data and said electric resistance value measured by said detecting processor, for said each pixel.
A method of driving a light emitting display device, said light emitting display device comprising a display panel that has an emitting device which forms a plurality of pixels, the method comprising the steps of:
