To solve the problem wherein data need to be written to respective pixels in line sequence when a current write type pixel circuit is employed.

An active matrix type display device constituted by arranging current write type pixel circuits 11 in matrix is provided with a data line driver circuit 15 comprising (m) current driver circuits (CD) 15-1 to 15-m provided corresponding to data lines 13-1 to 13-m; and the data line driver circuit 15 temporarily holds image data (luminance data in this example) and then supplies them in the form of current to the data lines 13-i to 13-m to perform write driving for image information to the respective pixel circuits 11.
