A unit pixel (10) includes a plurality of current controlling elements (Tr2a Tr2d) having controlling terminal and connected to a single EL element (11), and switching elements (Tr1a Tr1d) provided to the respective current controlling elements in order to switch between application and cutoff of a digital image signal with respect to the controlling terminals in accordance with the condition of a scanning signal. Each of the current controlling elements is controlled by a voltage of the digital image signal so as to take an OFF state for cutting off a supply of a driving current to the EL element or an ON state for supplying the EL element with a driving current corresponding to the voltage of the digital image signal, and a value of the current flowing in the EL element is the sum value of currents supplied from the respective current controlling elements in the ON state. Based on a combination of the current controlling elements in the ON state, the current supplied to the EL element is controlled to be a value corresponding to the gradation.
