Embodiment approach 1

[0139] An example of performing SES driving including an erasing period using pixels with an additional erasing mechanism is described in Embodiment 1.

[0140] Figure 2A and 2B A pixel structure having the erasing mechanism of Embodiment 1 is shown. like Figure 2A As shown, a pixel has a switching TFT 201, a driver TFT 202, an EL element 204, a source signal line (S), a gate signal line (G), and a current supply line (current), which are similar to conventional components, and have a similar implementation The voltage compensation circuit 210 of the voltage compensation circuit of scheme pattern 1. In addition to the gate signal line (G), the pixel in Embodiment 1 also has an erasing gate signal line (Ge). Note that referring to the erasing gate signal line (Ge), the conventional gate signal line in Embodiment 1 is referred to as the write gate signal line.

[0141] Figure 2B is a circuit diagram including the configuration of the voltage compensation circuit 210 . ...

Embodiment approach 2

[0158] An example of manufacturing a light-emitting device having pixels shown in Embodiment Modes 1 and 2 is described in Embodiment 2.

[0159] A schematic diagram of the light-emitting device is shown in Figure 20A . A pixel portion 2001 is placed at the central portion of the substrate 2000 . although Figure 20A not specifically shown, the structure of the pixel is the same as Figure 1A and 1B as shown. A source signal line driver circuit 2002 for controlling source signal lines and a gate signal line driver circuit 2007 for controlling gate signal lines are formed around the pixel portion 2001. One of the gate signal line driver circuits 2007 may also be formed only on one side of the pixel portion 2001 as described above.

[0160] Signals input from the outside for driving the source signal line driver circuit 2002 and the gate signal line driver circuit 2007 are input through the FPC 2010 . Signals input from FPC 2010 have small voltage amplitudes, and thus ar...

Embodiment approach 3

[0194] A pixel having an erasing gate signal line is explained in Embodiment 1, but with such a pixel, the selection timing of the writing gate signal line is different from that of the erasing gate signal line. thus, Figure 20B One of the gate signal line driver circuits shown disposed on both sides of the pixel portion may be configured as a write gate signal line driver circuit, and the other may be configured as an erase gate signal line driver circuit. The circuit configuration can be similar to that described in Embodiment 2, and thus its detailed description is omitted here.

Abstract

A pixel having a structure in which low voltage drive is possible is provided by a simple process. A digital image signal input from a source signal line is input to the pixel through a switching TFT. At this point, a voltage compensation circuit amplifies the voltage amplitude of the digital image signal or transforms the amplitude, and applies the result to a gate electrode of a driver TFT. On-off control of TFTs within the pixel can thus be performed normally even if the voltage of a power source for driving gate signal lines becomes lower.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to light emitting devices. In particular, the present invention relates to the structure of an active matrix light emitting device having thin film transistors (hereinafter referred to as TFTs) fabricated on an insulator such as glass or plastic. The present invention also relates to electronic equipment using a light emitting device in a display portion. Background of the invention [0002] Development of display devices in which self-luminous elements such as electroluminescent (EL) elements are used has been active recently. The term EL element includes either an element utilizing light emission from singlet excitons (fluorescence) or an element utilizing light emission from triplet excitons (phosphorescence). An EL display device is given here as an example of a light emitting device, but display devices using other self-luminous elements are also included in the category of light emitting devices. [0003] An EL...
