Abstract

To improve display quality of a pixel of an organic EL panel. Display correction is performed in the pixel with a small number of transistors in the pixel of the organic EL panel. A capacitor and an oxide semiconductor transistor are formed in a display driver IC. A minute current flowing in the pixel is measured from the amount of change in capacitor voltage to correct display. Because the off-state current of an oxide semiconductor is extremely small even at high temperatures, current can be accurately measured and display images can be accurately corrected.
