Disclosed herein is a driving apparatus for driving a pixel, including a first pMOS type transistor connected to a first potential a first nMOS type transistor connected in series to the first pMOS type transistor and connected to a second potential; and a control section configured to control the first pMOS type transistor and the first nMOS type transistor individually using a first on-signal for controlling the timing of turning on of one of the first pMOS type transistor and the first nMOS type transistor; a signal of a potential at a node between the first pMOS type transistor and the first nMOS type transistor being inputted as a driving signal for driving the pixel to the pixel.
