Abstract
A pixel circuit is provided which includes a light-emitting element; a driving transistor configured to control an amount of current supplied from a first power line to the light-emitting element according to a pixel voltage; a capacitor having one end connected to a second power line and the other end connected to a gate of the driving transistor and configured to hold the pixel voltage; a first switch transistor configured to selectively switch the pixel voltage provided through a data signal line into the capacitor; and a second switch transistor configured to selectively connect the first power line and the second power line. The first and second power lines are separated during a period where the capacitor is charged by the pixel voltage, and are shorted during a period where the driving transistor operates according to the pixel voltage.
