Disclosed is an image display apparatus having, in every pixel, a light-emitting
element such as an organic electro-luminescence (EL) element of which the brightness
is controlled by a current. The image display apparatus includes transistors that
form a current mirror in the pixel and using a pixel structure having two scan
lines, so as to select pixels of at least two rows simultaneously, distribute the
current applied to the data line to the pixel for recording display information
and the adjacent pixel, and record the display information on the pixel of no more
than one row among the selected pixels. This drastically increases the current
for driving the data line and decreases the size of the transistors that form the
current mirror in the pixel.
