    Abstract: A display apparatus and a method of driving the same that can prevent erroneous operation by compensating for the delay of a gate turn-on signal. A signal detector generates a delay control signal according to an internal clock signal and the gate turn-on signal. The signal detector detects whether the gate turn-on signal applied to the gate line is delayed or not, and the pulse width of a logic high period of the clock signal is controlled according to the detection result, such that it is possible to compensate for the delay of the gate turn-on signal.
