  • Publication number: 20100060554
    Abstract: In a display apparatus and a driving method thereof, image data corresponding to plural different positions of a display panel are added to each other, and a sum of the image data of a present frame is compared with a sum of the image data of a previous frame to determine whether an image displayed on the display panel is a still image or not. While a still image is displayed, brightness of the display panel is gradually lowered. Accordingly, the display panel may prevent occurrence of afterimages and deterioration of organic electroluminescent light emitting devices, as well as reduce power consumption.

  • Patent number: 7633088
    Abstract: A display device including a plurality of pixels is disclosed. Each of the pixels includes a switching transistor, a plurality of scanning lines connected to the switching transistors and a plurality of data lines connected to the switching transistors. The scanning lines transmit a gate turn-on voltage that turns on the switching transistors and a gate turn-off voltage that turns off the switching transistors and the data lines transmit a data voltage. The gate turn-on voltage is determined based on a maximum value of the data voltage. The gate turn-on voltage based on the maximum value of the data voltage results in high luminance and less crosstalk phenomenon.
