Abstract

A display device includes pixels, and each pixel is connected between a first electrode or a second electrode of a driving transistor and a bias line, includes a bias transistor configured to transfer a bias voltage applied from the bias line to the first electrode or the second electrode of the driving transistor during a bias period. Bias voltages applied to the pixels emitting light of different colors are different from each other.
