In a display apparatus having organic EL devices to display images in units of pixels, each pixel comprises a first transistor to drive the relevant device; a current supply circuit for supplying, in a first mode, a current of a magnitude based on the value of the pixel displayed by the device; a second transistor whose control electrode is connected to the control electrode of the first transistor to thereby constitute a current mirror circuit, wherein the second transistor receives, in the first mode, the current from the current supply circuit; a capacitor connected to the control electrode of the second transistor and holding, in the first mode, the voltage generated in the control electrode of the second transistor when the current from the current supply circuit has been received; and a switch for connecting, in a second mode, the device to the first transistor in a state where the voltage generated in the control electrode of the second transistor and held in the capacitor is supplied to the control electrode of the first transistor. In this device, high-quality image display can be achieved at lower cost with a simplified structure.
