Provided is a pixel circuit capable of preventing slight light emission of an organic EL element due to leakage current from a driving transistor. Provided is a pixel circuit including: a light-emitting element that emits light at luminance corresponding to an amount of current; a first capacitance, which is a metal insulator metal (MIM) capacitance; and a second capacitance, which is a metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) capacitance disposed in parallel to the light-emitting element.

Pixel circuit, display device, and electronic apparatus

An electro-optical apparatus includes selector switches. One selector switch is provided for each data line. One data line is disposed for each pixel column of a pixel section that includes pixel circuits that are arranged in a matrix form. Each of the pixel circuits includes a drive transistor and a light-emitting element that emits light at luminance that is commensurate with a magnitude of a current supplied via the drive transistor. The selector switches write an input data signal to the data lines. The selector switches write a correction potential for correcting a threshold voltage of the drive transistor to the data lines that are divided into groups, at a timing different for each group.
