Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a plurality of first wiring lines; a plurality of second wiring lines that intersects the plurality of first wiring lines; a plurality of unit circuits; and a plurality of reference signal lines that supply reference signals to the plurality of unit circuits, each of the plurality of unit circuits having: a driven element that is driven by a driving voltage or a driving current; a driving unit that supplies the driving voltage or the driving current to the driven element; a switching element that controls electrical connection between an input terminal provided in the driving unit and one second wiring line of the plurality of second wiring lines; and a capacitor element that has a first electrode coupled to the input terminal and a second electrode coupled to one reference signal line of the plurality of reference signal lines and that accumulates a charge between the first electrode and the second electrode, in a first period, a data signal being supplied to the input terminal through the one second wiring line and the switching element such that a potential of the input terminal is set, the driving unit supplying the driving voltage or the driving current to the driven element in one of a period in which the potential of the input terminal set by the data signal in the first period is greater than a predetermined potential and a period in which the potential of the input terminal is smaller than the predetermined potential, the potential of the one reference signal line being set to a first potential when the potential of the input terminal is set by the data signal in the first period, the potential of the one reference signal line when a second period starts being the first potential, the potential of the one reference signal line becoming a second potential that has a voltage level different from the first potential, in the second period, the potential of the one reference signal line when the second period is completed being the first potential, and the variation in the potential of the one reference signal line in the second period being axisymmetric on the basis of a time point when the potential of the one reference signal line becomes the second potential.
