PURPOSE: A method for driving electro-optical device, organic electroluminescenct display device and electronic apparatus are provided to reduce the power consumption thereof. CONSTITUTION: An organic electroluminescent display device includes a plurality of data lines(X1, X2, ..., and Xn), a plurality of scan lines(Y1, Y2, ..., and Ym) as row lines arranged in a matrix manner, organic electroluminescent elements corresponding to R, G, and B colors, holding capacitances located at intersections of the data lines(X1 to Xn) and the scan lines(Y1 to Ym), data line driving circuit(40) for the data lines(X1 to Xn) and a scan line driving circuit(30) as a row driving circuit for driving the scan lines(Y1 to Ym). The scan line driving circuit(30) includes a buffer(32) and a decoder(33). An auxiliary data line driving circuit(50) is provided in addition to the data line driving circuit(40). The auxiliary data line driving circuit(50) includes a decoder(51) and a plurality of switching elements(52). First ends of the switching elements(52) are selectively connected to only the data lines(X2,X5 and X8) of the data lines(X1-X12), which corresponding to the organic electroluminescent elements capable of emitting green(G). Second ends of the switching elements(52) are connected to a power supply line(53) on which a character display voltage(VCHR) for causing the organic electroluminescent elements to emit light is fed.
