Abstract
Each pixel in a display device includes an emissive element, a driver transistor, a control transistor, and a control capacitor. The driver transistor is provided between the emissive element and a power supply and controls supply of power from the power supply to the emissive element. The control transistor is connected between a constant voltage power supply and a gate of the driver transistor, receives a digital data signal on a gate, and controls whether or not to fix a gate voltage of the driver transistor. The control capacitor is connected between a control line and the gate of the driver transistor. The gate voltage of the driver transistor is shifted to a voltage corresponding to a control pulse signal when the control transistor is off and is non-fixed during a light emission period defined by the control pulse signal applied to the control line.
