Abstract

A method is provided for driving a luminescent display which includes a plurality of luminescent units adapted to be selected for light emission, so as to display an image. This method is characterized in that during a predetermined period, a reverse voltage having a direction opposite to that of a voltage to be applied for light emission of a luminescent unit, is applied to each luminescent unit.
