Patent ID: 8648777

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a pixel array; and a driver, the pixel array including a plurality of feeding lines and a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels including a driving transistor and a light-emitting element, the driving transistor being connected between the light-emitting element and one of the plurality of feeding lines, wherein the driver is configured to, within a given field period and in order: cause a given one of the plurality of pixels to prepare to emit light by applying a low potential in a preparation period to a given one of the plurality of feeding lines, which is connected to the given one of the plurality of pixels, cause the given one of the plurality of pixels to emit light by applying a high potential throughout a first emission period to the given one of the plurality of feeding lines, cause the given one of the plurality of pixels to stop emitting light by applying an intermediate potential throughout an intermediate non-emission period to the given one of the plurality of feeding lines, the intermediate potential being between the low and high potentials, and cause the given one of the plurality of pixels to emit light by applying the high potential throughout a second emission period to the given one of the plurality of feeding lines.
