An EL display device capable of producing a vivid multi-gradation color display, and an electronic device having the EL display device. An electric current supplied to an EL element is controlled by providing a resistor between a current control TFT and the EL element formed in a pixel, the resistor having a resistance higher than the on-resistance of the current control TFT. The gradation display is executed by a time-division drive system which controls the emission and non-emission of light of the EL element by time, preventing the effect caused by a dispersion in the characteristics of the current control TFT.
