A display includes a pixel array, a vertical scan circuit, a horizontal drive circuit, and an auxiliary scan circuit. The pixel array includes scan lines, signal lines, pixels, and auxiliary scan lines. Each pixel includes a transistor, a pixel electrode, and an auxiliary capacitor. The auxiliary scan circuit sequentially applies auxiliary pulses, of which potential is reversed between a high level and a low level relative to a predetermined reference potential, to the auxiliary scan lines synchronously with selection pulses to control such that a potential of one electrode of each auxiliary capacitor in a selected pixel row is opposite in polarity to that of a signal written in the corresponding pixel electrode in the selected row, and further control such that the potential of the electrode of each auxiliary capacitor is returned to the reference potential when the selected row is released.
