Driving a display apparatus by performing write processing for applying an auxiliary video signal to a corresponding data line, then, applying a video signal, instead of the auxiliary video signal, to the corresponding data line, and in a state where a predetermined drive voltage is applied from a power supply portion to one area of the source and drain areas of a drive transistor, applying a voltage based on the auxiliary video signal and a voltage based on the video signal from the corresponding data line to the gate electrode of the drive transistor through a write transistor which is turned on in response to a scanning signal from the corresponding scanning line.
