Patent ID: 8902134

Claim:
A display device comprising: a pixel array part including a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of signal lines, and a plurality of pixel circuits, at least one of the pixel circuits including: a sampling transistor configured to sample a video signal from one of the signal lines, a capacitive part configured to hold an input voltage that includes the sampled video signal, a drive transistor configured to receive the input voltage held by the capacitive part and to supply an output current, a light-emitting element configured to receive the output current supplied by the drive transistor and to emit light with a luminance dependent upon the video signal, and a first switching transistor configured to supply a first potential to an anode electrode of the light-emitting element; wherein the input voltage held by the capacitive part is corrected for a characteristic of the drive transistor before an emission period, by a correction current through the drive transistor to the capacitive part, and wherein the anode electrode is reset to the first potential before the input voltage is corrected.
