Disclosed herein is a driving method for a display apparatus which includes: (1) a scanning line; (2) a data line; (3) a display element; (4) a feeder line; (5) a current detection line; and (6) a switching element, the driving method for a display apparatus including a current detection step of placing the switching element into an on state in a state wherein a potential of the current detection line is maintained so that a potential difference between the second end of a light emitting element and the current detection line does not exceed a threshold voltage of the light emitting element and supplying current flowing through a driving transistor to the current detection line so as to be detected.
