Patent ID: 8659522

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a pixel section having pixels arranged in a matrix; and a driving circuit configured to drive the pixel section, wherein each pixel includes a light-emitting element, a capacitor, a write transistor configured to be turned on and off by a write signal output from the driving circuit, and a driving transistor having a gate and a source to which ends of the capacitor are connected, wherein the driving circuit includes a selective output unit configured to selectively output, to the pixel, the write signal generated by using a pulse signal and the write signal generated by smoothing a rising edge and/or falling edge of the pulse signal, and further comprising a first write signal generating unit configured to generate the write signal during a threshold voltage correcting period and a second write signal generating unit configured to generate the write signal during a mobility correcting period and an output from each of the first and second write signal generating units is selectively applied to the write transistor.
