To increase a current value of a source line at the time of current
programming. A device for driving an electro-optical panel in which a
plurality of pixels each have an electro-optical element and active
element means for selectively supplying electric charge to the
electro-optical element through a source line in response to a write
selection signal. The driving device comprises: first driving means for
simultaneously supplying the write selection signal to k rows of pixel
units including an n-th row of pixel units through a write scanning line
in a first period of a horizontal scanning period for storing the
electric charge in the n-th row of pixels, and for supplying the write
selection signal to the n-th row of pixel units in a second period of the
horizontal scanning period for storing electric charge; and a second
driving means for simultaneously performing first electric charge supply
on the k rows of pixel units arranged along any one of the source lines
through the one source line in the first period, and for performing
second electric charge supply on the n-th row of pixel units through the
one source line in the second period.
