Patent ID: 7567227

Claim:
A method of driving an electronic device, with one frame period comprising n sub-frame periods SF 1 , SF 2 , . . . , SF n , the n sub-frame periods each comprising address periods Ta 1 , Ta 2 , . . . , Ta n and sustain periods Ts 1 , Ts 2 , . . . , Ts n , comprising the steps of: inputting a first signal to a pixel comprising a light emitting element from a source signal line during each address period, wherein a capacitor storage line is maintained at a first potential; turning on the light emitting element during each sustain period, wherein the capacitor storage line is maintained at the first potential; providing a clear period Tc m during a period from an end of the sustain period Ts m (1≦m≦n−1) of a sub-frame period SF m through until a start of the address period Ta m+1 of a sub-frame period SF m+1 , wherein the capacitor storage line is maintained at a second potential.
