In a display device having an external compensation function, a decrease in compensation accuracy caused by coupling noise generated in a data signal line is prevented. An emission driver that applies a light-emission control signal (EM) to each of a plurality of light-emission control lines includes a shift register formed of a plurality of unit circuits. The shift register generates a light-emission control signal (EM) to be applied to each light-emission control line on the basis of a plurality of light-emission control clock signals (ECK1 to ECK4) outputted from a display control circuit. The display control circuit stops the outputs of the plurality of light-emission control clock signals (ECK1 to ECK4) throughout a current measurement period in which a current corresponding to the characteristic of the drive transistor is measured.
