Drive switches 3b1 to 3bn selectively apply
a constant current to any one of anode electrode lines 1A. Constant current
sources 3a1 to 3an supply the constant current
to anode electrode lines 1A, respectively, via drive switches 3b1
to 3bn. Scanning switches 2a1 to 2am
selectively set any one of cathode electrode lines 1B to a ground potential
and apply a reverse bias voltage to the other cathode electrode lines 1B.
First temperature compensation means 5 is provided with the temperature
detection means 5a for detecting an ambient temperature of organic
EL devices E11 to Enm, and generates a first temperature compensation drive
voltage VA obtained by changing a power supply voltage according to an output from
the temperature detection means 5a and supplies the first temperature
compensation drive voltage VA to the constant current sources 3a1
to 3an. Second temperature compensation means 6 applies a
temperature-compensated second temperature compensation drive voltage VB, which
is generated based upon the first temperature compensation drive voltage VA outputted
from the first temperature compensation means 5, to the cathode electrode
lines 1B as the reverse bias voltage via the scanning switches 2a1
to 2am.
