An EL display device capable of producing a vivid multi-gradation color
display, and an electronic device having the EL display device. An
electric current supplied to an EL element 110 is controlled by providing
a resistor 109 between a current control TFT 108 and the EL element 110
formed in a pixel 104, the resistor 109 having a resistance higher than
the on-resistance of the current control TFT 108. The gradation display
is executed by a time-division drive system which controls the emission
and non-emission of light of the EL element 110 by time, preventing the
effect caused by a dispersion in the characteristics of the current
control TFT 108.
