In a method of driving a display apparatus, a first combination of a first anode voltage and a first element voltage is selected to apply the first anode voltage to the anode electrode and apply the first element voltages to electron emitting elements selectively, during a first period. The first combination is changed to a second combination of a second anode voltage and a second element voltage after the first period to apply the second anode voltage to the anode electrode and apply the second element voltages to the electron emitting elements selectively, during a second period. After the second period, the second combination is also change to the first combination.
