Disclosed here is a driving method for a pixel circuit which includes a light emitting element, a driving transistor for applying current in response to a signal value applied between a gate and a source thereof to the light emitting element when a driving voltage is applied between a drain and the source thereof, and a holding capacitor connected between the gate and the source of the driving transistor for holding the input signal value, the driving method comprising steps carried out within a light emitting period of one cycle which includes a no-light emitting period and the light emitting period, the steps including a first step to a sixth step.
