This invention provides a display device in which it is possible to have a
light emitting element emitted light with constant luminance without
coming under the influence of deterioration over time, and it is possible
to realize accurate gray scale express, and yet, it is possible to speed
up writing of a signal current to each pixel, and influence of noise of a
leak current etc. is suppressed, and a driving method thereof. A
plurality of pairs of switch portions and current source circuits are
disposed in each pixel. Switching of each of a plurality of the switch
portions is controlled by a digital video signal. When the switch portion
is turned on, by a current supplied from the current source circuit
making a pair with the switch portion, the light emitting element emits
light. A current which is supplied from one current source circuit to the
light emitting element is constant. A value of a current flowing through
the light emitting element is comparable to a value of added currents
which are supplied to the light emitting element from respective all
current source circuits making pairs with the switch portions which are
in the conductive states.
