Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: an image display unit including a plurality of electro-optic elements and a plurality of pixel circuits for respectively driving the plurality of electro-optic elements, the electro-optic elements and the pixel circuits being arranged in a row direction and a column direction of a matrix form; a first power supplying line for supplying a first potential to the image display unit; a plurality of data lines connected respectively to the pixel circuits arranged in the column direction for supplying data signals to the pixel circuits; a data line drive circuit for driving the plurality of data lines; a plurality of scanning lines connected respectively to the pixel circuits arranged in the row direction for selecting the pixel circuits; a scanning line drive circuit for driving the plurality of scanning lines; and a second power supplying line for supplying a second potential to the scanning line drive circuit, wherein the display apparatus is provided with elements for shifting potential of the plurality of scanning lines to the first potential when the first potential and the second potential are different from each other.
