Abstract
A display device includes: pixels each including a display element; potential lines maintained at respective gray-scale potentials different from one another, the potential lines including first potential lines each maintained at a first gray-scale potential level allowing a luminance gradient to be relatively steep and second potential lines each maintained at a second gray-scale potential level allowing a luminance gradient to be relatively gentle, the luminance gradient representing a magnitude of a display luminance variation caused by a variation in a voltage or current applied to the display element; and a driving section performing display drive on the pixels based on an image signal, through supplying the display element of each of the pixels with a gray-scale potential level of selected one of the plurality of potential lines. A resistance of the first potential line is lower than a resistance of the second potential line.
