1. A pixel circuit, comprising:
a capacitor connected between a first node and a second node;
a driving element comprising a gate electrode connected to the second node, a first electrode to which a pixel driving voltage is applied, and a second electrode connected to a third node;
a light-emitting element comprising an anode electrode connected to a fourth node and a cathode electrode to which a low-potential power supply voltage is applied;
a first switch element configured to be turned on by a gate-on voltage of a first scan pulse to apply a data voltage to the first node;
a second switch element configured to be turned on by a gate-on voltage of a second scan pulse to connect the second node to the third node;
a third switch element configured to be turned on by a gate-on voltage of a first light-emitting control pulse to apply a reference voltage to the first node, the reference voltage being lower than the pixel driving voltage and the low-potential power supply voltage;
a fourth switch element configured to be turned on by the gate-on voltage of a second light-emitting control pulse to connect the third node to the fourth node; and
a fifth switch element configured to be turned on by the gate-on voltage of the second scan pulse to apply the reference voltage to the fourth node,
