The luminescence elements are arranged in a matrix pattern. The display device comprises a luminescence amount regulator for setting a reference duty for regulating a luminescence amount per unit time for each of the luminescence elements, according to picture information of an input picture signal, and also comprises an adjuster for adjusting, based on the reference duty, an effective duty regulating a luminous time for which the luminescence elements become luminous within a unit time, so that the effective duty is within a predetermined range, and for adjusting a gain of the picture signal, so that a luminescence amount regulated with the effective duty and with the gain of the picture signal equals to the luminescence amount regulated with the reference duty.
