There is provided an image display apparatus having light emitting
elements in its pixels, and capable of producing a high-resolution,
multi-gray-scale-level display. In an embodiment of the present
invention, each of pixel circuits is provided with a current limiting
circuit for generating a specified drive current and a time modulation
circuit for modulating a duration of time supplying the specified drive
current to the light emitting element. In another embodiment of the
present invention, each of pixel circuits is provided with a current
limiting circuit for generating a specified drive current and a current
generator circuit for generating a plurality of values of currents on the
basis of the specified drive current.
