Display device method of driving same and electronic device mounting same

A method of driving a display device which displays by selecting and scanning each scanning signal line of a screen having pixels arranged in a matrix form and supplying through a data signal line a data signal to a corresponding pixel of the scanning signal, the method comprising the step of:

• setting a quiescent period, in which all the scanning signal lines are sot in non-scanning state, to be longer than a scan fling period required for scanning the screen one time, wherein a sum of the scanning period and the quiescent period is set to be equivalent to one vertical period, and
• wherein said quiescent period is act within a range or from 16.7 msec to not more than 2 sec.

A method of driving a display device which displays by selecting and scanning each scanning signal line of a screen having pixels arranged in a matrix form and supplying through a data signal line a data signal to a corresponding pixel of the scanning signal line as selected, the method comprising the steps of:

• forming a quiescent period subsequent to a scanning period required for scanning each scanning signal line of a screen at least one time, wherein the quiescent period has all the scanning signal lines set in non-scanning state and the quiescent period is longer than the scanning period, and
• in said quiescent period, a potential of said data signal line is set to a predetermined data signal line quiescent potential.
