A image display device includes a light-emitting device that emits light with a luminance depending on an electric current flowing therethrough, a driver that includes at least a first terminal and a second terminal and that supplies an electric current whose value is defined based on a potential difference between the first terminal and the second terminal to the light-emitting device, a potential difference supply unit that supplies the potential difference between the first terminal and the second terminal, a potential adjusting unit that adjusts so that the potential of the second terminal becomes reference potential while the potential difference supply unit supplies the potential difference, and a capacitor that is arranged between the first terminal and the second terminal and that holds the potential difference supplied from the potential difference supply unit.
