A flat display panel such as an FED panel is provided in which high display luminance is obtained with high picture quality and a simple wiring structure. A display device includes a display panel in which column direction wirings 15 and row direction wirings 16 are formed perpendicularly to each other and the column direction wirings 15 are divided into N sets (N is an integer of 2 or more) in the vertical direction of a screen, drive elements 13, 18 which drive each of these N sets of the column direction wirings 15, a scanning element 14 which scans the row direction wirings 16, and an interpolation element 19 which performs flame-interpolation on an input video signal N times; wherein the scanning element 14 simultaneously scans the row direction wirings 16 corresponding to these N sets of the column direction wirings 15 respectively with approximately 1/N the vertical cycle of the video signal, and the drive elements 13, 18, to which an interpolated video signal from the interpolation element 19 is input, drive each of these N sets of the column direction wirings 15 by the interpolated video signal with a frame shifted by 1/N the vertical cycle of the input video signal.
