Patent ID: 8576213

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 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; and a power supplying section adapted to supply a predetermined power supply potential to said pixels in the rows through said power supply lines; 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 a direction of a column and adapted to retain a predetermined potential; said power supplying section temporarily raising, during mobility correction of the pixel, the power supply potential of the power supply line for the adjacent pixel to which said auxiliary capacitor is connected.
