1. A sub-pixel, comprising:
a light emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an emission layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode;
a first transistor including a gate terminal electrically connected to a first node, a drain terminal electrically connected to a second node, a body terminal to which a first power voltage is applied, and a source terminal;
a second transistor that switches electrical connection between a third node and a data line to which a data voltage is applied;
a third transistor that switches electrical connection between the first node and the second node;
a fourth transistor that switches electrical connection between the second node and the first electrode of the light emitting element;
a fifth transistor that is electrically connected to the first electrode of the light emitting element, and supplies an initialization voltage to the first electrode of the light emitting element;
a sixth transistor that applies a reference voltage to the third node in response to a scan signal;
a seventh transistor that switches electrical connection between the source terminal of the first transistor and a first power line to which the first power voltage is applied;
a first capacitor including a first electrode connected to the first node, and a second electrode connected to the third node; and
a second capacitor including a first electrode connected to the first node, and a second electrode to which the reference voltage is applied.
