Abstract

A display device which makes it possible to shorten a selection period per pixel while compensating variations in a threshold voltage of the driving transistor, and a method for driving the same are achieved. In a pixel circuit Aij, a potential wire Ui is set to a potential Vcc, a voltage of a gate wire Gi becomes Low, a voltage of a control wire Ri becomes High, and a voltage of a control wire Pi becomes High, so that a gate terminal of a driving TFT: Q1 has a potential of a data wire Dj. Moreover, a voltage of the gate wire Gi becomes High so as to compensate a threshold voltage of the driving TFT: Q1. Thereafter, a voltage of the control wire Pi becomes Low, and the potential wire Ui is set to a potential Vc, so that a voltage of a capacitor C1, i.e., a gate-source voltage of the driving TFT is changed. This causes a voltage of the control wire Ri to be Low, so that a driving current is flown into an organic EL: EL1.
