る。In this device, a transparent electrode 2 (ITO) is provided horizontally on a glass substrate l, and a dielectric layer such as Y2O3, 5i02, etc.
It has a structure in which an nS light emitting layer 4 is sandwiched, and an AI gold metal back electrode 6 is vertically disposed on the second side of the dielectric layer 5. The light emitting mechanism of such EL devices is generally E
When an external voltage greater than the luminescence amount value is applied between the electrodes 2 and 6 of the L element, the luminescent layer 4 causes an electron avalanche phenomenon and emits light, resulting in a polarization voltage within the luminescent layer 4 in a direction that cancels out the external voltage. Occur. Due to this polarization voltage, the external voltage for the next light emission is applied in the opposite direction to the direction of the 1t curve. As a result, the luminous power is 1 due to the superimposed effect of the polarization voltage and the external voltage.
It goes up at least once. A conventional example of a driving method that utilizes this characteristic to apply an alternating voltage between both electrodes of the EL terminal will be described. FIG. 2 shows a time chart of the conventional driving force method. T
is the driving period, T4) i (i = I ~ n) is the PWi (i = l ~ n) and PRI (7) within the alternating period
The phase time, PWi and PR drive pulse width are arbitrary.

間隙T七1 と発光輝度との関係を調べてみる。Let PWi be a write drive voltage and PR be a refresh drive voltage. Now, the matrix configuration of the display panel is M rows on the data line side and N columns on the scan line side.The drive period T of each scan line is the same.Scanning is line sequential scanning, and each scan line is 5can 1.5can2, 5can n. The operation is performed by modulating the write drive voltage PWi depending on the presence or absence of display data, and the write drive voltage P of the last scan line is
After applying Wn, a refresh drive voltage PR having a polarity opposite to the write drive voltage PWi was simultaneously applied to all EL elements of one display panel to cause them to emit light. Let us now examine the relationship between the write drive type /lI'EPWi and the refresh drive voltage PR, T71, and the luminance.

FIG. 5(b) shows the respective light emission brightnesses when the write drive voltage pw and the refresh drive voltage PR are applied at each alternating phase time T9. The actual measurement in FIG. 5(a) (tri) shows that the phase relationship between the write drive voltage pw and the refresh drive voltage PR is TQ=:T/2, and the luminance decreases around TQ. The luminance increases as the voltage increases.Figure 5 (C) shows that when the alternating applied voltage Va is

, s, TE) indicates the relative brightness value at 1=10 ms. When driving a display panel with a matrix configuration based on this actual measurement value, the emission brightness changes when the gap TBi between the write drive voltage PWi and the refresh drive voltage PR changes, so there was a drawback that the uniformity of the emission brightness in the display panel was poor. .
