Abstract

A display device includes pixel circuits disposed in rows and columns. A first pixel circuit is configured to emit light of a first color, and a second pixel circuit is configured to emit light of a second color, with the first color preferably being green. A given signal line provides a first image data signal and a second image data signal respectively to the first pixel circuit and the second pixel circuit within a horizontal scanning period, with the first pixel circuit receiving the first image data signal before the second pixel circuit receives the second image data signal.
