Abstract: A display device includes a pixel component including first pixels which emits light having a first color, and second pixels which emits light having a second color different from the first color, a sensing component which extracts, during a sensing period, first sensing data from the first pixels, and second sensing data from the second pixels, and a temperature determiner which senses a temperature of the pixel component using the first sensing data and the second sensing data. The temperature determiner senses, when the first sensing data is supplied to the temperature determiner, the temperature of the pixel component at least one time.

Abstract: A display device including: a display panel including a plurality of pixels; a display panel driver configured to drive the display panel; a memory device configured to store a reference current-temperature model that is set for the display panel, a global offset of the display panel, which is calculated based on the reference current-temperature model in a manufacturing stage of the display panel, and a local offset of the display panel, which is calculated based on a characteristic difference between the pixels in the manufacturing stage; and a panel temperature determiner configured to measure sensing currents flowing through the pixels when a temperature sensing voltage is applied to the pixels, calculate correction sensing currents by applying the global offset and the local offset to the sensing currents, and determine temperatures of the pixels by substituting the correction sensing currents into the reference current-temperature model.

Abstract: A method of recovering an error in data communication according to an exemplary embodiment of the present inventive concept includes performing data communication between a first device and a second device through a data line and a clock line; detecting a communication error in the data communication when the first device is in an output mode; and in response to the detecting, outputting, by the second device, a stop signal to the data line repeatedly until the first device is in an input mode. According to exemplary embodiments, if a device stays in an output mode due to a communication error, a stop signal is repeatedly output to the device until the device switches to an input mode, whereupon the communication error can be recovered from. Thus, quality of data communication can be improved.
