To appropriately adjust luminance and a black level even when
characteristics of an organic EL display element should be changed due to
an environmental change or heat self-generation, to display a stable
image. A current detector detects a level of a total panel current
flowing in an organic EL panel. The detected level is subjected to A/D
conversion before being supplied to an adder. Meanwhile, a video signal
is supplied to a current calculator 24 to be converted into data
corresponding to the level of a total panel current, before being
supplied to the adder. The adder then compares an average total panel
current level, estimated based on a video signal, and an actual total
panel current level, to obtain a difference so that a black level for
image data to be supplied to the panel is adjusted according to the
difference.
