Image display having a capacitance varying unit and method of driving same
An image display includes a light emitting unit that emits light via energization; a driver that includes at least a first terminal and a second terminal, and that controls light emission by the light emitting unit according to a potential difference which is applied between the first terminal and the second terminal and is higher than a predetermined driving threshold; a threshold voltage detector that detects a threshold voltage corresponding to the driving threshold between the first terminal and the second terminal of the driver; and a capacitance varying unit that is connected to the driver.
1. An image display comprising:
a variable capacitor including
a first electrode,
an insulation layer disposed on the first electrode,
a channel layer disposed on the insulation layer, and
a second electrode disposed on the channel layer and smaller in area than the first electrode.
2. The image display according to claim 1 , wherein
the channel layer changes electric conductivity according to a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode.
