A pixel is provided in which normal display of an image is possible even
if a sustain period is shorter than an address period in a driving method
combining digital gray scales and time gray scales, and in which
operation can be compensated by changing the electric potential of a
signal line even for a case in which the EL driver transistor becomes
normally on due to deterioration. One of a source region and a drain
region of an erasure TFT is connected to an electric current supply line,
and the remaining one of the source region and the drain region is
connected to a gate signal line. It is possible to change the voltage
between a gate and a source of an EL driver TFT by changing the electric
potential of the gate signal line so that the EL driver TFT is placed in
a non-conducting state with certainty with this structure, even for cases
in which the EL driver TFT becomes normally on due to a shift in the
value of its threshold voltage.
