Abstract

A thin film EL display panel is composed of an EL layer placed between scanning electrodes and data side electrodes which are arranged at right angles to the scanning electrodes. A thin film EL display panel drive circuit includes a first and a second switching circuits connected to each of the scanning electrodes to apply voltages of negative and positive polarities, respectively, with respect to the voltage of the data side electrodes; and third and a fourth switching circuits connected to each of the data side electrodes to respectively charge and discharge the EL layer corresponding to the scanning electrode.
