Abstract

An image display apparatus according to the present invention includes a data line that supplies a voltage determined based on emission brightness, a first switching unit that controls writing of the voltage supplied from the data line, a driver element that controls a current flowing through a current-controlled light emitting element, an organic electro-luminescence element that emits light of brightness corresponding to current applied, a reference-voltage writing unit that supplies a predetermined reference voltage, and a threshold-voltage detecting unit that detects a threshold voltage of the driver element.
