The application aims at reducing the power consumption of pixels not
emitting light in an active matrix organic EL panel having a static
memory cell in each pixel. Each pixel circuit comprises a selection
transistor (5), first (2) and second (4) drive transistors as well as a
first organic EL element (1) and a second (3) organic EL element
respectively connected to the first and second drive transistors. The
second organic. EL element is masked and does not contribute to the pixel
brightness. The current flowing through the second organic EL element is
reduced by current limiting means. This current limiting means may be a
second supply voltage (VDD2) used in the current path with the second
organic EL element, the second supply voltage being lower than the
corresponding first supply voltage (VDD1) of the current path with the
first organic EL element. Alternatively, the current limiting means may
comprise a current limiting transistor (11) or a diode-connected
transistor (13).
