Display device, method of driving the same, and electronic unit

A method of driving a display device, the display device including

• a plurality of data-line pairs arranged side by side along a first direction,
• a plurality of gate lines arranged side by side along a second direction,
• a display section including a plurality of pixels each disposed at an intersection of a data-line pair and a gate line and connected to one or both of the data-line pair,
• a data-line drive circuit supplying a positive-phase data signal to one of the data-line pair and a negative-phase data signal to the other of the data-line pair, and allowing the data-line pair to stay in a high-impedance state before writing of an image signal to the pixels, and
• a short circuit putting the data-line pair in a short-circuit state while the data-line pair stays in the high-impedance state, and then releasing the short-circuit state,
• the method comprising, following the release of the short-circuit state, writing the positive-phase data signal, the negative-phase data signal or both thereof into the pixel as the mage signal.
