Abstract:
1. A display device comprising: a pixel element including a self-luminous element and a drive transistor, connected serially between a power supply line and a cathode electrode of the self-luminous element, wherein the power supply line being connected to a current terminal of the drive transistor, a control circuitry configured to drive the pixel element so as to control a voltage between an anode electrode of the self-luminous element and the cathode electrode; wherein the control circuitry is configured to: repeatedly switch between an active state and an intermediate state so as to obtain a predetermined luminance duration in an emission period, wherein the active state is a state that the self-luminous element emits light and the intermediate state is a state that the self-luminous element is turned off without receiving a reverse-biased potential at the anode electrode, and apply an off-state voltage between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode during a non-emission period.
