Abstract

An EL display device is operable in analogue and digital modes. In the analogue mode a current is supplied to the EL display elements (2) in dependence on a data signal (6) supplied to the pixel, and in the digital mode one of two voltages is provided across the EL display elements in dependence on the data signal supplied to the pixel. This enables the display to have a low power standby mode in which a digital drive scheme is implemented. This is particularly appropriate for static images and preferably for images without grey scales. The first mode is the normal current addressing mode.
