Abstract: A display device includes a display panel having cathodes, gates, and anodes in which the cathodes and the gates are connected in a matrix manner, and an electron emitter which emits electrons in a state where a voltage is applied only between the cathodes and the anodes and which is provided with the cathode. A display of pixels is performed under a dark state by stopping electron emission from the electron emitter for the anodes by applying a stop voltage between the cathodes and the gates. In addition, a controller controls operation of a circuit for driving a display panel in such a way that a potential of each of the anodes becomes not less than a threshold value potential by which the potential of each of the anodes can perform electron emission from the electron emitter after a predetermined time elapse from starting of application of a drive voltage which provides a specified display state or the stop voltage between the cathodes and the gates when a display starting signal is generated.

Abstract: In a display device and a driving and controlling method therefor, in order to restrain the occurrence of an unsatisfactory display state or unsatisfactory luminescence in the case where an anode potential is made to transition from a supply state to a cut-off state in response to the generation of a display completing signal, when a display signal DS is generated at time t0, an anode potential Va is raised at time t1, and at time t2 until which a predetermined time Td2 passes after the anode potential Va decreases below a threshold potential Vth with a cut-off voltage applied between cathodes and an anode, the application of the cut-off voltage is completed.
