Patent ID: 8094144

Claim:
An electro-optical device, comprising: a first scanning line; a second scanning line; a data line; a scanning line driving circuit that outputs a first scanning signal through the first scanning line and outputs a second scanning signal through the second scanning line; a data line driving circuit that outputs a data signal and a reset signal through the data line; and a pixel circuit arranged at an intersection of the first scanning line and the data line, the pixel circuit including: an electro-optical element; a holding element that holds a voltage that corresponds to the data signal and the reset signal that are output to the data line; a first switching transistor connected between the data line and the holding element that outputs the data signal to the holding element, based on the first scanning signal; a second switching transistor connected between the data line and the holding element that outputs the reset signal to the holding element, based on the second scanning signal; and a driving transistor that outputs a driving current to the electro-optical element, based on the voltage held by the holding element, the data signal being a signal by which the driving transistor is placed in a driving state, the data signal corresponding to a gradation and being output to the holding element through the data line in a period in which the first scanning signal is output, the reset signal being a signal by which the driving transistor is placed in an off state, the reset signal being output to the holding element through the data line in a period in which the second scanning signal is output, and the second scanning signal being output from the period in which the first scanning signal is output until a following first scanning signal is output.
