Patent ID: 8547371

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a pixel array section including a plurality of pixels, at least one of the plurality of pixels having a light-emitting element, a write transistor configured to write an input signal voltage from a signal line to a holding capacitance during a write period, and a drive transistor configured to drive the light-emitting element based on the input signal voltage held by the holding capacitance; a drive circuit configured to supply the input signal voltage via the signal lines to the plurality of pixels, wherein within a horizontal scanning period, a potential of the signal line is iteratively increased from an offset voltage, to a pre-charge voltage between the offset voltage and the input signal voltage, and then to the input signal voltage, an increase to the pre-charge voltage occurring before the write transistor is turned on to write the input signal voltage, and at least one of the plurality of pixels performs a correction by negatively feeding back the drain-to-source current of the drive transistor to a gate of the drive transistor during the write period.
