In a display device having a light emitting element, an accurate setting
operation needs much time, unless a current value of the signal current
(video signal) is set to high value. On the contrary, the driving current
value for causing a light emitting element to emit light is very small.
Therefore, it is difficult to perform an accurate setting operation.
However, according to the present invention, the current source circuit
includes plural transistors. The plural transistors are connected in
parallel when the setting operation is performed on the current source
circuit, whereas the plural transistors are connected in series when the
light emitting element is caused to emit light. Further, the speed of the
setting operation is increased because a light emitting element is
capable of emitting light with a constant luminance and a current value
to set up a current source circuit is higher than a driving current value
when a light emitting element emits light.
