Abstract

An electroluminescent (EL) display apparatus and method of controlling are provided. A display screen includes gate signal lines and source signal lines. A pixel corresponds to each intersection of the gate and source signal lines. Each pixel includes: an EL device including an anode and cathode terminals; a driving transistor to flow a current to the EL device; a first switch transistor provided on a current path through which the current flows from a power line through the driving transistor to the EL device; a second switch transistor to supply, to the driving transistor, an image signal from one of the source signal lines; and a third switch transistor provided between the anode terminal of the EL device and a voltage line. The voltage line is configured to supply a reverse bias voltage for reverse biasing the anode terminal of the EL device.
