发明名称 Panel, control method thereof, display device and electronic apparatus
摘要 A panel, display device and control method in which pixels each have a light emitting element. The potential of the video signal line is switched to a low potential before writing, a high potential during writing, and an intermediate potential after writing has been performed. Switching of the power supply lines from the high potential to the low potential is performed in a period after the potential of the video signal line has been switched from the high potential to the immediate potential, before the potential of the video signal line is switched from the intermediate potential to the low potential.
