DISPLAY DEVICE, DRIVING METHOD FOR DISPLAY DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

There is provided a display device in which display elements included in pixels are arrayed in a row direction and a column direction in a two-dimensional matrix, in which each of the display elements includes a current-driven light emitting unit and a drive circuit for driving the light emitting unit, the drive circuit includes at least a drive transistor and a capacitor, the drive transistor has one source/drain region to which a drive voltage is applied via a first feeder line and the other source/drain region connected to one end of the light emitting unit, and is configured in such a manner that a current corresponding to a voltage held in the capacitor flows to the light emitting unit via the drive transistor, and the drive voltage is applied to the one source/drain region of the drive transistor after a voltage of the other source/drain region of the drive transistor is set in such a manner that a difference between the voltage of the other source/drain region of the drive transistor and the drive voltage is decreased.
