Display device and method for driving display device

A display device, comprising:

• a light-emitting element;
• pixels, each of which is provided with first to fourth transistors and configured so that a control terminal of the first transistor is connected to a first control line, a control terminal of the fourth transistor is connected to a scanning line, a first electrically-conductive terminal of the fourth transistor is connected to a data line, a first electrically-conductive terminal of the second transistor is connected to a first power supply line via the first transistor, a first electrically-conductive terminal of the third transistor is connected to an initialization electric potential supply line, a control terminal of the second transistor is connected to the data line via the fourth transistor and to a terminal of the light-emitting element via a capacitor, and the terminal of the light-emitting element, a second electrically-conductive terminal of the second transistor, and a second electrically-conductive terminal of the third transistor are connected to one other;
• and
• a second control line shared commonly by at least two pixels among the pixels, the at least two pixels being such that the fourth transistors of the at least two pixels are connected to different scanning lines, and control terminals of the third transistors of the at least two pixels are connected to the second control line,
• the at least two pixels being such that the third transistors of the at least two pixels are concurrently turned ON, after the first transistors of the at least two pixels are sequentially turned OFF.
