Patent ID: 7800563

Claim:
A display apparatus, comprising: a pixel array section wherein a plurality of pixel circuits each including an electro-optical element, a driving transistor configured to drive said electro-optical element, a sampling transistor configured to sample and write an image signal and a capacitor configured to hold a gate-source voltage of said driving transistor within a display period are disposed in a matrix; dependence cancellation means for negatively feeding back, within a correction period before said electro-optical element emits light in a state wherein the image signal is written by said sampling transistor, drain-source current of said driving transistor to the gate input side of said driving transistor to cancel the dependence of the drain-source current of said driving transistor on the mobility; and scanning means for using an AC power supply as a power supply to a last stage buffer of an output circuit to produce a scanning signal which defines the correction period.
