Abstract:
An electro-optical apparatus having a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixels to which an image signal is supplied through the plurality of data lines, comprising:a precharge signal line that transmits a precharge signal;a precharge circuit that supplies the precharge signal to the plurality of data lines by a plurality of switching elements, each of the switching elements being arranged between each of the plurality of data lines and the precharge signal line, prior to the supplying of the image signal to the data lines; anda precharge signal supply circuit that generates the precharge signal of which the potential level changes continuously or stepwise and supplies the precharge signal to the precharge signal line, wherein the plurality of said switching elements are simultaneously in conductive state when a potential level of which the precharge signal is generated by the precharge signal supply circuit is changing.
