<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electro-optical apparatus in which the life of an electro-optical element can be prolonged by applying a non-forward bias to the electro-optical element, and to provide a method of driving the electro-optical apparatus and an electronic device. <P>SOLUTION: A pixel circuit 20 is provided so as to correspond to an intersection of a scanning line Y1 and a data line X1. The pixel circuit 20 includes an organic EL element 21, a driving transistor Q20, switching transistors Q21 to Q24, a program transistor Q25, and a retention capacity C1. In the pixel circuit 20, the switching transistor Q24 is turned on when the organic EL element 21 does not emit light, and a pixel electrode of the organic EL element 21 is electrically connected to a scanning line Y2 of a trailing stage to apply a reverse bias to the organic EL element 21. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
