Abstract
A display apparatus using capacitive light emitting devices, in which some of a plurality of driving lines are selected in a scanning period in predetermined cyclic period consisting of the scanning period and a resetting period subsequent thereto, current sources are connected to the selected driving lines, and a current in the forward direction is supplied to each of the capacitive light emitting devices between the selected driving lines and a selected one scanning line, and in the resetting period, a same electric potential is applied to driving lines to be selected for a next scanning period and all of the plurality of scanning lines, thereby discharging charges of the capacitive light emitting devices between the driving lines to be selected and all of the scanning lines, wherein a length of the scanning period in the predetermined cyclic period is changed in response to a luminance information command, and the period other than the scanning period in the predetermined cyclic period is set to the resetting period.
