Display device

A display device, comprising:

• a plurality of first interconnects extending in a first direction to be arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
• a plurality of second interconnects extending in the second direction to be arranged in the first direction;
• a plurality of switch elements, each of the switch elements being electrically connected to one selected from the first interconnects and one selected from the second interconnects;
• a plurality of pixel electrodes electrically connected respectively to the switch elements;
• a plurality of third interconnects extending in a third direction to be arranged in a fourth direction, the third direction being parallel to a plane including the first direction and the second direction, the fourth direction intersecting the third direction and being parallel to the plane;
• a first insulating layer provided between the second interconnects and the third interconnects;
• a plurality of fourth interconnects separated from the first to third interconnects, the switch elements, and the pixel electrodes in a fifth direction, the fifth direction being perpendicular to the plane, the fourth interconnects extending in the fourth direction to be arranged in the third direction;
• a display layer to perform an optical operation of at least one selected from a light emission and a change of an optical characteristic based on an electrical signal provided to the pixel electrodes, the display layer being provided between the pixel electrodes and the fourth interconnects;
• and
• a control unit to perform:
• a sense operation in a sensing interval, the sense operation including sensing an electrical characteristic between the fourth interconnects and a selected third interconnect of the third interconnects, the selected third interconnect being in a selected state;
• a first display operation in a first display interval after the sensing interval, the first display operation including causing the display layer to perform the optical operation by controlling a potential of the pixel electrodes by supplying a first scanning signal to at least one selected from the first interconnects and setting the second interconnects to a display potential;
• a second display operation in a second display interval prior to the sensing interval, the second display operation including causing the display layer to perform the optical operation by controlling the potential of the pixel electrodes by supplying a second scanning signal to at least one selected from the first interconnects and setting the second interconnects to the display potential;
• and
• a pre-display operation in a pre-display interval after the sensing interval and prior to the first display interval, the pre-display operation including a first voltage application operation of setting at least one of the second interconnects to a pre-display potential,
• an absolute value of the pre-display potential being greater than an absolute value of the display potential.
