Of course, it is conceivable to provide this constant current drive circuit in a portion of the device where it is easy to cool, or to provide a special cooling means. However, in a light emitting display, a large number of pixels, ie, light emitting elements, constituting its components are used. Need to be individually driven, the constant current drive circuit needs to be provided as close to the light emitting display as possible. That is, if the wiring connecting the constant current drive circuit and the light emitting display is long, the wiring resistance and the parasitic capacitance increase,
It is necessary to increase the output of the constant current drive circuit in order to increase the power loss and decrease the response, and it is necessary to route a cable having a large wiring scale.

However, when the constant current driving circuit is disposed close to the light emitting display as described above, there has been a problem that the heat of the constant current driving circuit, which has become high temperature, affects the light emitting characteristics of the light emitting display. In addition, even when a constant current drive circuit is provided at a position distant from the light emitting display to prevent the thermal effect of the constant current drive circuit on the light emitting display, such a light emitting display drive control requires a large number of output terminals. In order to simplify the connection between the constant current drive circuit and the cable, the constant current drive circuit IC or bare chip is mounted on a flexible substrate and molded with resin, or the constant current drive circuit is mounted on a transparent substrate on which the light emitting display is mounted. A drive circuit is directly mounted or integrated. In these cases, however, there is a problem that the constant current drive circuit chip is particularly difficult because it is surrounded by resin.

In summary, a constant current driving circuit for driving a light emitting display is forced to have a disadvantageous structure and position in terms of heat radiation due to the vicinity of the light emitting display or the wiring and connection of the cable through a cable having a large number of wirings. Therefore, the temperature reduction of the constant current drive circuit has been a serious problem in mounting the light emitting display.
