Disclosed herein is a display device, including: a pixel array in which pixel circuits each having a light emitting element, a driving transistor for applying a current corresponding to a gate-to-source voltage to the light emitting element connected to a source side by applying a drive voltage across a drain and a source, a sampling transistor for inputting a signal line voltage to a gate of the driving transistor by being caused to conduct, and a sustaining capacitor connected between the gate and the source of the driving transistor for sustaining a video signal voltage inputted thereto are disposed in a matrix; a signal selector; a drive control scanner; and a write scanner.
