An electric current driving display device includes pixel circuits, a scanning signal output circuit and a display signal output circuit. The pixel circuits include intersecting scanning lines and data lines. Each pixel circuit includes an electro-optical element and a drive element having a control terminal connected to the data line through a switching element. The scanning signal output circuit selects a write-target pixel circuit using the scanning line, and controls the selected pixel circuit outputs, to the data line, a voltage which depends on a threshold voltage of the drive element. The display signal output circuit applies, to the data line, a voltage obtained by adding or subtracting a correction voltage corresponding to the threshold voltage to or from a data voltage corresponding to display data, based on the voltage outputted to the data line. |
