Patent ID: 8325174

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a pixel array including pixel circuits arranged in a matrix, each pixel circuit including at least a light emitting element, a drive transistor in which a drive voltage is applied between the drain and the source to supply a current corresponding to a signal value supplied between the gate and the source to the light emitting element, and a holding capacitor which is connected between the gate and the source of the drive transistor and which holds the input signal value; mobility correction operating means for supplying the drive voltage to the drive transistor while allowing the holding capacitor to hold a correction signal value that is a lower voltage than that of the signal value, which is to be supplied to the holding capacitor, to perform a mobility correction operation for correcting the mobility of the drive transistor; and light emission operating means for, after the mobility correction operation, introducing the signal value to the holding capacitor and supplying the drive voltage to the drive transistor to perform a light emission operation for causing the light emitting element to emit light at a luminance corresponding to the signal value.
