An electrooptical apparatus having a plurality of scanning lines, a
plurality of signal lines, and electrooptical devices each being placed
at an intersection of each of the scanning lines and each of the signal
lines, and the electrooptical apparatus is driven according to the amount
of drive current supplied to the electrooptical devices. The
electrooptical apparatus includes a lighting time measuring unit for
measuring a lighting time of the electrooptical devices, a lighting time
storage unit for storing the lighting time obtained by the lighting time
measuring unit, and a drive current amount adjusting unit for adjusting
the amount of drive current based on the lighting time stored in the
lighting time storage unit so as to correct the brightness of the
electrooptical devices.
