Abstract

A display device of the present disclosure is provided with a pixel circuit that includes a light-emitting element; a current modulator that controls a current value flowing through the light-emitting element; a current breaker that interrupts a current flowing through the light-emitting element; and a gray-scale controller that controls the current modulator and the current breaker to perform gray-scale control. The gray-scale controller discretely controls a light emission duty of the light-emitting element through the current breaker, and controls, through the current modulator, the current value flowing through the light-emitting element in accordance with the light emission duty of the light-emitting element.
