- the conventional organic EL display device as described above has the following problems.
- the passive matrix organic EL display device had a problem that the number of pixels could not be increased very much. Since passive matrix EL displays have no pixel holding function and can only emit light instantaneously, the light emission period is the value obtained by dividing one frame period by the number of column lines, and is inevitable when the number of pixels increases In addition, the number of column wires also increased, and the light emission period became shorter. Normally one frame is It is about 16.6 ms due to the problem of lip force. If the pixel is 176 x RGB x 220, the lighting time of one line is 75 ⁇ s.

- the active type described above the voltage held in the capacitor is converted into a current by the TFT inside the pixel, and the current is affected by variations in TFT characteristics. Since low-temperature polysilicon TFTs form crystals using a single linear laser beam, the TFT characteristics vary in stripes due to their variations.
