Claim Text:
1. A self-luminous display device comprising: pixel circuits; and a drive circuit, wherein at least one of the pixel circuits includes a light-emitting diode, a drive transistor connected to provide a drive current to the light-emitting diode according to an input data voltage, and a holding capacitor coupled to a control node of the drive transistor, the drive circuit is configured to apply a light emission enabling bias to the light-emitting diode after the input data voltage is written to the holding capacitor, and the drive circuit is configured to provide a light emission enabled period and a light emission disabled period, and wherein during the light emission enabled period, the light emission enabling bias is applied to the light-emitting diode, a light emission interruption period adapted to change the light emission enabling bias to a non-light emission bias is inserted halfway into the light emission enabled period, during a remainder of the light emission enabled period immediately following a conclusion of the light emission interruption period, a source potential of the drive transistor increases to a level commensurate with the input data voltage, and during the light emission disabled period, a reverse-bias of the light-emitting diode is provided to stop light emission, for a constant period after the light emission enabled period, wherein a voltage corresponding to a correction for a characteristic of the drive transistor is reflected in the holding capacitor prior to the light emission interruption period.
