Abstract: Disclosed herein is a display including: a pixel array part configured to include pixels arranged in a matrix, each of the pixels including an electro-optical element, a write transistor for sampling and writing an input signal voltage supplied through a signal line, a holding capacitor for holding the input signal voltage written by the write transistor, and a drive transistor for driving the electro-optical element based on the input signal voltage held in the holding capacitor.

Abstract: In the present invention, there is provided a display apparatus including: a pixel array section including pixel circuits each having an electro-optical device, a write transistor configured to carry out a voltage storing process to sample a video signal and store the sampled video signal, a holding capacitor configured to hold the sampled video signal, and a driving transistor configured to drive the electro-optical device; and a driving circuit configured to carry out a selective scan operation on the pixel circuits in row units, and a threshold-voltage correction operation to correct variations of the threshold voltage of every driving transistor wherein, before the driving circuit carries out a threshold-voltage correction operation in a horizontal scan period, the driving circuit performs a preparatory operation prior to the horizontal scan period in order to fix each of electric potentials appearing on the gate and the source of the driving transistor at a predetermined level.
