1. An electro-optical device, comprising:

  • a plurality of scanning lines;

    a plurality of data lines;

    a plurality of pixels located at intersections of the scanning lines and the data lines;

    a scanning-line driving circuit that outputs a scanning signal to the scanning lines so as to select the scanning line corresponding to a pixel to which data is written; and

    a data-line driving circuit that cooperates with the scanning-line driving circuit and that outputs data to the data line corresponding to the pixel to which data is written, each of the pixels including;

    an electro-optical element that emits light with a brightness corresponding to a driving current;

    a storage device that stores the data supplied via the data line;

    a drive element that sets the driving current, which is supplied to the electro-optical element, according to the data stored in the storage device; and

    a control element that repeatedly interrupts a current path for the driving current for a period after the scanning line corresponding to the pixel to which data is written is selected until a next time this scanning line is selected.
