Abstract

A light emitting display panel includes a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in a matrix. Each of the plurality of pixel circuits includes a light emitting element, a capacitor that is connected to a gate of a drive transistor and the light emitting element, a first switch transistor that is connected to a first electrode of the capacitor, a first wire that is connected to the first electrode of the capacitor via the first switch transistor, a second switch transistor that is connected to a second electrode of the capacitor and the light emitting element, and a second wire that is connected to the second electrode of the capacitor via the second switch transistor. A voltage of the first wire and a voltage of the second wire are the same during a power off operation or during a non-light emission period.
