Display apparatus, method of driving display apparatus, and electronic equipment

A method of using and driving a display apparatus that includes

• a pixel array section that has pixels arranged in a row direction and a column direction in a two-dimensional matrix pattern, each of the pixels including a display element,
• a scanning line provided for each of pixel rows arranged in the row direction, and
• a data line provided for each. of pixel columns arranged is the column direction,
• the method comprising the steps of:
• causing the data line to hold a video signal voltage;
• then changing a voltage of a scanning line different from the scanning line of the pixel targeted for writing so as to vary a voltage of the data line via a capacity between the data line and the scanning line;
• and
• thereafter driving the scanning line of the pixel targeted for writing, to write the voltage of the data line to the pixel.

Electronic equipment comprising:

• a display apparatus that includes
• a pixel array section that has pixels arranged is a row direction and a column direction in a two-dimensional matrix pattern, each of the pixels including a display element,
• a scanning line provided for each of pixel rows arranged in the row direction, and
• a data line provided for each of pixel columns arranged in the column direction,
• wherein, with the data line in a state of holding a video signal voltage, a voltage of a scanning line different from the scanning line of the pixel targeted for writing is changed so as to vary a voltage of the data line via a capacity between the data line and the scanning line, the scanning line of the pixel targeted for writing being driven thereafter to write the voltage of the data line to the pixel.
