Abstract
A display device and a driving method for a display device are provided. The display device uses a second storage capacitor and stably moves the threshold voltage of the driving transistor to a positive value in a diode-connected driving circuit. Accordingly, a compensation performance of a threshold voltage of a driving transistor may be improved.
