Abstract:
1. A display device, comprising: a display unit including a plurality of first lines arranged in rows, a plurality of second lines arranged in columns, a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in the rows and in the columns, and a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in the rows and in the columns; a first drive unit configured to sequentially apply a selection pulse to the plurality of first lines; and a second drive unit configured to apply a signal pulse having a first voltage, a second voltage, and a third voltage to each of the second lines, the first voltage being higher than the second voltage, and the third voltage being same as a voltage corresponding to a video signal, wherein each of the pixel circuits includes a first transistor configured to sample the signal pulse, and a second transistor configured to drive a corresponding one of the light emitting elements, the first drive unit applies the selection pulse to the first lines while the first voltage is being applied to each of the second lines by the second drive unit, before a correction of a threshold voltage of the second transistor is initiated and within a period in which the corresponding one of the light emitting elements is being turned out, and the first drive unit thereafter applies the selection pulse to the first lines while the second voltage is being applied to each of the second lines by the second drive unit.
