  • Publication number: 20210264853
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a pixel array section that has pixels arranged in a row direction and a column direction in a two-dimensional matrix pattern, each of the pixels including a display element; a scanning line provided for each of the pixel rows arranged in the row direction; and a data line provided for each of the pixel columns arranged in the column direction. With the data line in a state of holding a video signal voltage, the voltage of a scanning line different from the scanning line of the pixel targeted for writing is changed so as to vary the voltage of the data line via a capacity between the data line and the scanning line. The scanning line of the pixel targeted for writing is thereafter driven to write the voltage of the data line to the pixel.
