Patent ID: 8421716

Claim:
A display device comprising pixels provided so as to correspond to intersections of scanning signal lines and data signal lines, wherein: the pixels each includes: an electrooptic element having a driving potential input terminal to receive a potential for driving the electrooptic element; a first switching element between the driving potential input terminal of the electrooptic element and that one of the data signal lines which corresponds to the pixel; a first capacitor element whose first terminal is connected with the driving potential input terminal of the electrooptic element; a second capacitor element having a first terminal connected with the second terminal of the first capacitor element; and a second switching element disposed between (i) the one of the data signal lines and (ii) a node between the second terminal of the first capacitor element and the first terminal of the second capacitor element, the scanning signal lines includes: first scanning signal lines each connected with a conduction control terminal of the first switching element; and second scanning signal lines each connected with a conduction control terminal of the second switching element, the first scanning signal lines and the second scanning signal lines being paired in correspondence with the individual pixels, and the display device comprises potential lines connected with the second terminals of the second capacitor elements, respectively.
