A compensation circuit includes a compensation transistor connected to a compensation signal line and the write control line. A compensation voltage generation circuit outputs compensation control voltage in accordance with a representative value of data voltage for the pixel circuits. A capacitance of the write control line caused by the compensation transistor and a capacitance of the write control line caused by the write transistors of the pixel circuits have mutually opposite voltage dependence with respect to the representative value of the data voltage for the pixel circuits.

Abstract: An EL display apparatus according to the present invention includes EL device adapted to emit light at a luminance corresponding to a current fed thereto. A source driver outputs a current higher than a current corresponding to an image signal to the EL device through a source signal line. This operation charges/discharges a parasitic capacitance present in the source signal line. A transistor formed between the EL device and the source driver operates so that the EL device is fed with the current for only a part of a one-frame period. As a result, the El device emits light for only the part of the period.

A pixel provided with an EL device corresponds to each intersection of the gate and source signal lines. A driving transistor is provided for each pixel to supply a current to the EL device.

Abstract: By a drive method, for each of a plurality of display pixels each including an EL element, a capacitor, a drive transistor, an enable switch, and a switch, a period T21 is started by switching only the enable switch to an electrically conductive state before a period T22 in which the drive transistor is initialized, and the period T22 following the period T21 is started by switching the switch to an electrically conductive state. The period T21 is longer than a period T24 in which a threshold voltage of the drive transistor is compensated.
