Claim 8:
9. A method for driving a display device provided with a plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of data lines, a plurality of light-emission control lines, and a plurality of pixel circuits each including a light-emitting element, the method comprising:
a step of driving the scanning lines based on a first clock signal;
a step of driving the data lines;
a step of driving the light-emission control lines based on a second clock signal; and
a display control step of outputting at least the first clock signal and the second clock signal,
wherein the display control step includes classifying a frame period into a scanning period and a pause period, stopping the first clock signal during the pause period, and making a frequency of the second clock signal lower during the pause period than during the scanning period.
