Abstract:
A driving method for an electro-optical device which includes, at an intersection of a scanning line and a data line, an electro-optical element, a driving transistor that drives the electro-optical element, a switching transistor that controls the driving transistor, and a reset transistor that resets the driving transistor to a non-conducting state, the driving method comprising:a setting step of supplying an on-signal to cause the switching transistor to be in an on-state to the switching transistor via the scanning line, and of supplying a set signal to select a conducting state or a non-conducting state of the driving transistor to the driving transistor via the data line and the switching transistor in accordance with a period for which the on-signal is supplied; and a resetting step of supplying an on-signal to cause the reset transistor to be an on-state to the reset transistor via the scanning line so as to reset the driving transistor to the non-conducting state.
