Abstract
A pixel circuit includes a first light-emitting control transistor, a driving transistor, a second light-emitting control transistor, and a light-emitting device. The number of times a source or a drain of the driving transistor is reset in one frame is configured to be larger than the number of times the anode of the light-emitting device is reset in the one frame.
