  • Publication number: 20220101791
    Abstract: A pixel circuit 16(n) and a pixel circuit 16(n?1) acquire a data signal from a data line 14. A selector 30(n) supplies the data signal acquired from the pixel circuit 16(n) to a light emitting element selected from the light emitting elements 18(n?1), 18(n), and 18(n+1). A selector 30(n?1) can select at least the light emitting element 18(n?1), and supplies the data signal acquired from the pixel circuit 16(n?1) to the selected destination. In a sub-frame B, the selector 30(n) selects the light emitting elements 18(n) and 18(n+1), and the selector 30(n?1) selects the light emitting element 18(n?1). In a sub-frame A, the selector 30(n) selects the light emitting elements 18(n?1) and 18(n).
