A driving apparatus for a capacitive light emitting element display panel which
comprises a driving apparatus for supplying a first predetermined potential to
one selected scanning line, supplying a second predetermined potential higher than
the first predetermined potential to scanning lines other than the one scanning
line, supplying a driving current to a light emission drive line corresponding
to a capacitive light emitting element driven to emit light, and supplying a third
predetermined potential higher than the first predetermined potential and lower
than a light emission threshold voltage to drive lines other than the light emission
drive line, wherein the third predetermined potential is generated from a current
discharge terminal of a voltage source connected to a predetermined load circuit
for supplying a power supply voltage to the predetermined load circuit.
