Patent ID: 8629860

Claim:
A display device comprising: a pixel array unit in which plural pixels are arranged, each pixel including an electro-optic device, a write transistor writing a video signal, a storage capacitor storing the video signal written by the write transistor, and a drive transistor driving the electro-optic device based on the video signal stored in the storage capacitor; and a scanning circuit configured to provide a write scanning signal to gate electrodes of the write transistors while sequentially scanning respective pixels in the pixel array row by row, wherein, the write scanning signal is generated based on respective timings of rising and falling of one pulse-state power source potential in a mobility correction period, a mobility correction process which corrects variations in mobility of the drive transistors in respective pixels is performed in parallel to the writing of the video signal by the write scanning signal in the mobility correction period, the pixels have a function of correcting threshold voltage of the drive transistors, and the scanning circuit allows an amplitude of the write scanning signal given to the gate electrode of the write transistor during the correction of threshold voltage to be smaller than an amplitude of the write scanning signal given to the gate electrode of the write transistor during the correction of mobility.
