PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display apparatus which can prevent erroneous discharge and can improve display quality. SOLUTION: A display panel has a unit light emitting area which is formed at an intersection of row electrode pair and column electrode and is constituted by a first discharge cell and a second discharge cell having a light absorbing layer at a side close to a front substrate and a secondary electron emitting material layer at a side close to a back substrate. While applying a scanning pulse having a polarity to place the column electrode in low potential to one row electrode of a row electrode pair, a pixel data pulse having voltage corresponding to pixel data is applied to the column electrode to selectively cause address discharge within the second discharge cell. With this constitution, the column electrode within the second discharge cell acts as a cathode relative to the row electrode and thereby secondary electrons are favorably emitted from the secondary electron emitting material layer formed within the second discharge cell and address discharge is surely caused.
