Abstract:
1. A display apparatus, comprising: a pixel array section including a plurality of pixels disposed in rows and columns and each including an electro-optical device, a writing transistor for writing an image signal into the pixel, a driving transistor configured to drive said electro-optical device based on the image signal written by said writing transistor, a first switching transistor connected in series to said driving transistor and configured to control said electro-optical device to emit light or not emit light, a holding capacitor having a first terminal connected to a gate terminal of said driving transistor, and a second switching transistor connected to a second terminal of said holding capacitor and a source electrode of said driving transistor; first scanner configured to drive the writing transistor in a unit of a row of said pixels; second scanner configured to drive the first switching transistor and the second switching transistor in synchronism with scanning by said first scanning means; and third scanner configured to place the second switching transistors into a non-conducting state within a period after the image signal is written by the writing transistor until the signal writing period of the same row of the pixels ends, and into conducting state during a mobility correction period, a light emission period, and a threshold value correction period.
