Display, array substrate and method of driving display

A display comprising pixels and video signal lines arranged correspondently with columns which the pixels form, wherein each of the pixels comprises:

• a drive control element which includes a control terminal, a first terminal connected to a first power supply terminal, and a second terminal outputting a current having a magnitude corresponding to a voltage between the control terminal and the first terminal;
• a display element which includes a pixel electrode, a counter electrode connected to a second power supply terminal, and an active layer interposed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode;
• an output control switch connected between the second terminal and the pixel electrode;
• a first capacitor connected between the control terminal and a constant-potential terminal;
