Electric optical apparatus, driving method thereof and electronic device

A driving method of an electric optical apparatus comprising:

• the electric optical apparatus includes:
• a pair of substrates;
• an electric optical material that is provided in a display section between the pair of substrates;
• and
• a first pixel and a second pixel that are arranged in the display section, the first pixel includes:
• a scanning line;
• a data line;
• a power line;
• a pixel electrode;
• a driving transistor that has a gate, a first terminal and a second terminal, the gate of the driving transistor being connected to a first node, the first terminal being connected to the power line, the second terminal being connected to the pixel electrode;
• a modulation capacitor that has a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode being connected to the first node, the second electrode being connected to the data line;
• a maintenance capacitor that has a third electrode and a fourth electrode, the third electrode being connected to the first node;
• a correction transistor that has a gate, a third terminal and a fourth terminal, the gate of the correction transistor and the third terminal being connected to the first node;
• a precharge transistor that has a gate, a fifth terminal and a sixth terminal, the gate of the precharge transistor being connected to the scanning line, the fifth terminal being connected to the first node;
• and
• a potential control line that is connected to the fourth electrode of the maintenance capacitor,
• the driving method for displaying an image on the display section comprises:
• precharging the maintenance capacitor in a state in which a reference potential is input to the power line and a first potential lower than the reference potential is input to the potential control line;
• performing correction programming in which an image signal is inputs to the modulation capacitor via the data line, a part of charges precharged in the maintenance capacitor is drawn via the correction transistor so as to set a gate voltage of the driving transistor as a threshold voltage, and thereafter a second potential that is different from the first potential is input to the potential control line;
• and
• performing display driving in which the reference potential is input to the potential control line, a third potential that is different from the reference potential is input to the power line, and a current is supplied to the pixel electrode via the driving transistor.
