Abstract

An image display device includes a driver having a gate connected to a first electrode of a first capacitor and a source connected to an anode of a luminescence element. A second capacitor is connected to a second electrode of the first capacitor. A first switch supplies a reference voltage to the first electrode of the first capacitor. A second switch supplies a signal voltage to the second electrode of the first capacitor. A third switch connects the anode of the luminescence element to the second capacitor. A method of controlling the image display device includes: supplying the signal voltage to the first capacitor by switching ON the first and second switches when the third switch is OFF; switching OFF the first and second switches to turn ON the third switch after the first capacitor holds a capacitor voltage; and causing the second capacitor to hold a source potential of the driver while the third switch is ON.
