Abstract: A display device which accurately detects and corrects only a facial region contained in an image and thereby prevents an error in which a background or neighboring object having a similar color to a skin color is corrected together with the facial region, and a method of controlling the same are provided. The display device includes an image processor configured to detect a face candidate region from an input image, based on information associated with at least one face color region, to detect a face region by applying a face detection algorithm to the detected face candidate region and to perform skin color correction on the detected face region, and a display configured to display the corrected input content.
