Abstract

A drive method according to the disclosure includes a target row determination step of determining a target row to which a target pixel for which a characteristic of at least one of a drive transistor and an electro-optical element is detected belongs, a luminance calculation step of calculating a representative luminance of a pixel in the target row, and a detection determination step of performing a characteristic detection step of detecting monitoring data indicating the characteristic of at least one of the drive transistor and the electro-optical element of the pixel belonging to the target row in a case where the representative luminance is greater than or equal to a threshold, and skipping the characteristic detection step in a case where the representative luminance is less than the threshold.
