Abstract

A number of capacitive pixels formed in an electroluminescent display panel are selectively charged and discharged by the driving device. The driving device is composed of a charging circuit connected between a power source and the pixels and a discharging circuit connected between the pixels and the ground. Both the charging and discharging circuits include a respective inductive coil that constitutes a series L-C circuit together with the capacitive pixel. Since the pixels are charged and discharged through the series L-C circuit, impulse current otherwise flows in and out of the pixels is suppressed, and thereby radio noises generated by the impulse current are prevented.
