Display device and method for driving same

A display device including a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns,

• each of the plurality of pixels including:
• a light emitting device that emits light in accordance with supplied current;
• a driving transistor that supplies current to the light emitting device;
• a single storage capacitor connected between a gate of the driving transistor and a source or drain of the driving transistor, and
• a switching transistor connected between the gate of the driving transistor and a data line,
• wherein a first electrode of the storage capacitor is connected only to the gate of the driving transistor and a source or drain of the switching transistor,
• wherein a second electrode of the storage capacitor is connected only to an anode of the light emitting device and the source or drain of the driving transistor, and
• wherein a node between the gate of the driving transistor and the source or drain of the switching transistor is connected only to the first electrode of the storage capacitor, the gate of the driving transistor and the source or drain of the switching transistor,
• the display device comprising:
• a controller that (i) causes the light emitting device to emit light by supplying current to the light emitting device during a light emission period, (ii) reset charge of at least one of the storage capacitor and a parasitic capacitance of the light emitting device during a reset period, and (iii) applies a reverse bias voltage between the gate and source of the driving transistor during a reverse-bias application period,
• wherein the reset period is between the light emission period and the reverse-bias application period, and
• wherein a gate potential voltage during the reverse-bias application period is lower than a gate potential voltage during the light emission period.
