Patent ID: 8334864

Claim:
A display apparatus, comprising: a pixel array section including a plurality of pixels disposed in rows and columns; a number of power supply lines and scanning lines equal to the number of the rows of the pixels, each of said power supply lines being wired commonly to those of said pixels which are juxtaposed in a direction of a row; each of said pixels including a light emitting element having a diode characteristic and adapted to emit light in response to driving current, a sampling transistor adapted to sample an image signal, a driving transistor adapted to supply the driving current to said light emitting element, an accumulating capacitor connected between an anode of said light emitting element and a gate of said driving transistor and adapted to retain a predetermined potential, and an auxiliary capacitor connected between the anode of said light emitting element and the power supply line for an adjacent pixel positioned adjacent the pixel in the direction of a column and adapted to retain a predetermined potential; and a power supplying section adapted to supply a predetermined power supply potential to said pixels in the rows through said power supply lines; said power supplying section temporarily lowering, during mobility correction of each of said pixels, the power supply potential of the power supply line for the adjacent pixel to which said auxiliary capacitor is connected.
