Claim:
1. A display device comprising: a pixel array unit in which pixels are arranged, each pixel including a light emitting unit, a writing transistor that writes a video signal, a driving transistor that drives the light emitting unit based on the video signal written by the writing transistor, and a switching transistor that applies a fixed potential to one terminal of the light emitting unit; and a driving unit that causes the light emitting unit to enter a light extinction state by writing a voltage causing the driving transistor to enter a non-conduction state to a gate electrode of the driving transistor, wherein the driving unit applies a fixed potential to a source electrode of the driving transistor via the switching transistor in a state in which the voltage causing the driving transistor to enter the non-conduction state is written to the gate electrode of the driving transistor.
