A first current mirror circuit including an input side transistor, an output transistor and passive elements respectively connected in series with said input side transistor and said output side transistor, temperature coefficients of said passive elements being opposite in characteristics and a second current mirror circuit provided as a load circuit of the first current mirror circuit, for feeding back an output current of the output side transistor to an input of the input side transistor are provided. A drive current is generated on a basis of a current corresponding to a current generated in the output side transistor as a reference current and an operating current ratio of the input side transistor and the output side transistor is selected such that luminance change of organic EL elements with respect to temperature change is restricted.
