Abstract

A method for driving a display device in an embodiment according to the present invention, the method including step of displaying an image in accordance with a first video signal in a first frame period, and displaying the image in accordance with the first video signal after the first frame in a second frame period. The image in the first frame period is displayed after an end of a non-display period, the non-display period is shorter than the first frame period, and the non-display period is inserted after writing of the video signal in the first frame period and before display of the image.

Claims (14)

1. A display device comprising:

a display region arranged with a plurality of pixels each including a drive transistor supplying a drive current to a display element;

a video display mode including a first frame period displaying a first video according to a first video signal, and a second frame period displaying a second video according to a second video signal; and

a still image display mode including a third frame period displaying a third image according to a third video signal, and a fourth frame period displaying the third image after the third frame period,

wherein

the first frame period includes at least

an initialization period setting a control potential of the drive transistor to a predetermined potential in each pixel,

an offset cancel period obtaining a potential difference conforming to a threshold voltage of the drive transistor,

a video signal writing period determining a gate-source voltage of the drive transistor according to the threshold voltage of the drive transistor and the first video signal,

a display period displaying the first video according to the gate-source voltage, and

the still image display mode includes a non-display period shorter than the third frame period arranged after the video signal writing period in the third frame period is completed and before displaying the third image.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a timing of a start and an end of the non-display period is different between one row in a display region and another row in the display region in the still image display mode.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the non-display period is inserted more than once in the third frame period in the still image display mode.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display element is an organic electroluminescence element.
