Display device

A display device including a plurality of video signal lines, a plurality of scanning signal lines that intersect the plurality of video signal lines, a plurality of pixel forming sections disposed in correspondence with intersections of the plurality of video signal lines and the plurality of scanning signal lines, respectively, and a scanning signal line driving circuit that drives the plurality of scanning signal lines, the display device comprising:

• a video signal line driving circuit that outputs video signals in a time-division manner during each horizontal scanning period to data output lines corresponding separately to each video signal line group obtained by grouping the plurality of video signal lines with K (where K is an integer of 2 or larger) video signal lines as one set;
• and
• a connection switching circuit that changes from connecting a data output line corresponding to a video signal line group to one of K video signal lines constituting the video signal line group to connecting the data output line to another one of the K video signal lines in a time-division manner during each horizontal scanning period,
• wherein the connection switching circuit includes a connection control transistor and a compensating transistor for each video signal line of interest, the video signal line of interest being an arbitrary video signal line, the connection control transistor including a control terminal, a first conducting terminal connected to a corresponding data output line, and a second conducting terminal connected to the video signal line of interest, the compensating transistor including a control terminal, a first conducting terminal connected to the video signal line of interest, and a second conducting terminal that is maintained in a floating state.
