Abstract: Regarding a display device that uses display elements driven by current, occurrence of flicker upon pause driving is suppressed while an increase in power consumption is suppressed. In a period, during which supply of a drive current to an organic EL element is stopped, in a refresh frame period (RF) included in a driving period, before a writing period (14) during which a data voltage is provided to the control terminal of the drive transistor, a reset circuit provided in a pixel circuit provides an off-voltage that brings a drive transistor into off state to a control terminal of the drive transistor, and then provides an initialization voltage that brings the drive transistor into on state to the control terminal of the drive transistor.

Abstract: When a current-driven display device with an internal compensation method operates in a pause driving mode, a non-light emission period according to a light emission duty is provided in both a refresh frame period and a non-refresh frame period, and an on-bias applying period for applying on-bias to a drive transistor in a pixel circuit is provided in both the non-light emission periods. In the non-light emission period in the refresh frame period, an on-bias applying period is provided in a period from when data writing with threshold compensation is performed to when the light emission period starts. Thus, even when the light emission duty is low, the difference in the stress state of the drive transistor between the refresh frame period and the non-refresh frame period is reduced.
