Patent ID: 8803856

Claim:
An electric optical apparatus comprising a display section in which an electric optical material is provided between a pair of substrates and a plurality of pixels is arranged, and a control section, wherein the display section is provided with a first scanning line, a data line and a power-supply line that are connected to each of the plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels is provided with a pixel electrode, a driving transistor that is directly connected between the pixel electrode and the power-supply line, a modulation capacitor that is connected between a gate of the driving transistor and the data line, a control transistor that is connected between the modulation capacitor and the data line, a maintenance capacitor in which one end is directly connected to the gate of the driving transistor, and a correction transistor having a gate and one terminal that are directly connected to the gate of the driving transistor, and when an image is displayed on the display section, the control section charges the maintenance capacitor, performs a threshold value voltage correction operation in which a portion of charges of the maintenance capacitor that is precharged is drawn out through the correction transistor so that a gate potential of the driving transistor is a threshold value voltage, inputs an image signal to the modulation capacitor through the control transistor, changes a potential of the power-supply line, and supplies current to the pixel electrode through the driving transistor.
