Drive circuit, display device, and drive method

A method of driving a drive circuit including;

• a first line and a second line that two different reference voltages are applied to, respectively;
• a light emitting element that is disposed between the first power line and the second power line, and allows a current to flow therein to emit a light;
• a drive transistor that is disposed between the first power line and the second power line, and controls the amount of current flowing into the light emitting element;
• a first capacitor that is electrically connected between a gate and one of a source and a drain of the drive transistor;
• a second capacitor that is electrically connected between the gate and the other of the source and the drain of the drive transistor;
• a first switching element that is electrically connected between the gate of the drive transistor and a signal line;
• and
• a second switching element that is disposed between the first power line and the second power line, wherein the drive transistor , the second switching element, and the light emitting element are connected in series,
• wherein the second switching element is in an on-state when the signal writing period starts,
• wherein the first switching element turns on, and applies a signal voltage to be applied to the signal line to the gate of the drive transistor during the signal writing period,
• wherein the second switching element turns off a given time after the signal writing period starts, and
• wherein the first switching element turns off, and the second switching element turns on in response to a light emitting period.
