Patent ID: 8362980

Claim:
A display device which displays image information based on display data, comprising: a display panel which includes a plurality of signal lines and a plurality of scanning lines situated in directions mutually intersecting each other, and a plurality of display pixels including current control type light emitting devices positioned near intersecting points of the plurality of signal lines and the plurality of scanning lines; a scan driver circuit which applies a scanning signal to each of the plurality of scanning lines and sets the display pixels connected to the scanning lines in a selective state; a signal driver circuit which supplies a gradation signal to each of the plurality of signal lines based on a display data luminosity gradation component; and a precharge circuit which applies a precharge voltage to each of the plurality of signal lines and sets a capacity component, which includes capacitance formed within a wiring between each of the plurality of signal lines and the plurality of scanning lines, in a predetermined charged state; wherein the scan driver circuit generates a precharge control signal which controls an operating state of the precharge circuit and outputs to the precharge circuit.
