A method of driving a display apparatus with which unevenness of image is precluded and the time for display is shortened. A display apparatus for displaying an image by impressing a voltage on pixels by row electrodes and column electrodes disposed in a matrix, for example, a metal deposition type electrochemical display apparatus. A voltage not less than a threshold voltage V.sub.th is selectively impressed on predetermined pixels by superposing an address pulse voltage V.sub.adress-row for the row electrodes and an address voltage V.sub.adress-col for the column electrodes on each other to thereby perform address driving, and a data sustaining pulse voltage V.sub.sus is impressed on the row electrodes immediately after the address pulse voltage V.sub.adress-row. The data sustaining pulse voltage V.sub.sus satisfies the condition of the following formula: V.sub.sus+V.sub.adress-col
