1. A pixel comprising:
a light emitting element having a first terminal and a second terminal and configured to emit light based on a driving current; and
a pixel circuit configured to control the driving current to flow through the light emitting element between a first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage,
wherein the pixel circuit includes:
a driving transistor including a first terminal to which the first power supply voltage is applied, a second terminal electrically connected to the first terminal of the light emitting element, and a gate terminal electrically connected to a control node;
a first switching transistor including a first terminal electrically connected to a first node, a second terminal electrically connected to the control node, and a gate terminal to which a data initialization gate signal is applied; and
a second switching transistor including a first terminal to which an initialization voltage is applied, a second terminal electrically connected to the first node, a first gate terminal to which the data initialization gate signal is applied, and a second gate terminal to which a light emitting element initialization signal is applied,
wherein the first terminal of the light emitting element is electrically connected to the first node, and the second power supply voltage is applied to the second terminal of the light emitting element.
