In a display panel, each pixel has a display element that emits light when fed with electric power, a writing transistor, a driving transistor that drives the display element, a first capacitive element that is provided in series with a line connecting the second electrode of the writing transistor and the control electrode of the driving transistor, and an adjustment transistor that, during a reset period, is turned on to feed a voltage commensurate with the electrode-to-electrode voltage of the display element to the writing-transistor-side electrode of the first capacitive element. A control signal generation circuit is provided that, during the reset period, lets a voltage commensurate with the light emission start electrode-to-electrode voltage of the display element be held in the first capacitive element.
