Abstract
A pulse voltage application circuit applies a pulse voltage having a duty ratio of not more than 10% to an organic EL element. In this case, driving conditions are set such that an average drive current flowing through the organic EL element (an average injection current density) is not more than 3 mA/cm2, and an average drive voltage applied to the organic EL element is not more than 4 volts.
