Patent ID: 8665256

Claim:
A display apparatus, comprising a driving section and at least a first and a second pixel, each of the first and the second pixel including: a light emitting element adapted to emit light in response to driving current, a sampling transistor adapted to sample an image signal, a driving transistor adapted to supply the driving current to said light emitting element, and an accumulating capacitor connected to a control node of the driving transistor, wherein the driving section is configured to operate the first pixel to execute a correction operation, by extracting a current through the drive transistor and feeding the current back to the accumulating capacitor of the first pixel such that a voltage data stored in the accumulating capacitor of the first pixel depends on both of the image signal and a characteristic information of the drive transistor, and the driving section is further configured to gain the voltage of the accumulating capacitor of the first pixel, during the correction operation, by changing a potential of a wiring line connected to the second pixel and coupled to the accumulating capacitor of the first pixel.
