To provide a passive self-luminous device having a function for correcting
a degradation of a light emitting element, which is capable of performing
display with uniformity across a screen without occurrence of brightness
variance. A counter counts an accumulated illumination time or an
accumulated illumination time and illumination intensity in each pixel
using a first image signal to store the count result in a volatile memory
or a non-volatile memory. In a correction circuit, from the accumulated
illumination time or the accumulated illumination time and illumination
intensity, the first image signal is corrected according to a degree of
degradation of each light emitting element based on correction data
stored in advance in a correction data storage unit, to obtain a second
image signal. With the second image signal, it is possible to eliminate
the brightness variance and obtain a display with a uniformity across the
screen in a display device, even when a light emitting element in a
portion of pixels is degraded.
