A display device has a pixel circuit (100) including: a drive element (110) provided on a path connecting a first wiring line (Vp) to a second wiring line (Vcom), having a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal, and controlling a current flowing through the path; an electro-optic element (130) provided in series with the drive element (110) on the path, being connected to the first terminal of the drive element (110), and emitting light at a luminance according to the current flowing through the path; a first switching element (111) provided between the first terminal of the drive element (110) and a data line (Sj); a second switching element (112) provided between the control terminal and the second terminal of the drive element (110); a third switching element (113) provided between the second terminal of the drive element (110) and the first wiring line (Vp); and a capacitor (121) provided between the control terminal of the drive element (110) and a third wiring line (Ui). In the display device, a potential at which a voltage applied to the electro-optic element (130) is a light-emission threshold voltage or less is provided to the data line (Sj), and a potential of the third wiring line (Ui) changes in two levels.
