Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: a pixel section having pixels arranged in a matrix; and a horizontal driving circuit and a vertical driving circuit configured to drive signal lines and scanning lines in the pixel section, whereby an image is displayed in the pixel section, wherein each pixel includes wherein, in a threshold voltage correcting period in a non-emission period in which light emission by the light-emitting element is stopped, after the write signal turns on the write transistor to set potentials at ends of the signal-level-holding capacitor to predetermined potentials, a threshold voltage of the driving transistor is set in the signal-level-holding capacitor by discharging stored charge of the signal-level-holding capacitor through the driving transistor, wherein, in a mobility correcting period in the non-emission period in which the light emission by the light-emitting element is stopped, the mobility correcting period following the threshold voltage correcting period, after the write signal turns on the write transistor to set a voltage at one end of the signal-level-holding capacitor to the signal level of the one signal line, the driving transistor charges the other end of the signal-level-holding capacitor by turning on the driving transistor, wherein a fall of the write signal turns off the write transistor, and wherein the vertical driving circuit includes
