          Application No. 09/638,214                                                   

          16.  A self-luminous display element driving device for voltage              
          driving a self-luminous display element, comprising:                         
               a driving circuit for driving the self-luminous display                 
          element by controlling the application of a driving voltage to the           
          self-luminous display element;                                               
               a voltage generating circuit for supplying the driving voltage          
          to the driving circuit; and                                                  
               a deterioration information generating circuit for detecting a          
          voltage supplied to the self-luminous display element and                    
          generating deterioration information indicating an amount of                 
          deterioration of the self-luminous display element based on the              
          detected voltage;                                                            
               wherein the driving voltage generated by the voltage                    
          generating circuit is varied in accordance with the deterioration            
          information generated by the deterioration information generating            
          circuit so that the driving voltage is increased as the self-                
          luminous display element deteriorates.                                       
          24.  A self luminous display element driving device for voltage              
          driving a self-luminous display element, comprising:                         
               a driving circuit for driving the self-luminous display                 
          element by controlling the application of a driving voltage to the           
          self-luminous display element;                                               
               a voltage generating circuit for supplying the driving voltage          
          to the driving circuit; and                                                  
               a deterioration information generating circuit for generating           
          deterioration information indicating an amount of deterioration of           
          the self-luminous display element based on elapsed time;                     
               wherein the driving voltage generated by the voltage                    
          generating circuit is varied based on the deterioration information          
          such that the driving voltage is increased with the elapse of time.          
          32.  A self-luminous display element driving device for voltage              
          driving a self-luminous display element, comprising:                         

                                          2
