  • Publication number: 20220101794
    Abstract: A display device includes: a pixel connected to each of a first scan line, a second scan line, and a data line; a scan driver supplying a first scan signal to the first scan line and a second scan signal to the second scan line; a controller dividing one frame period into an active period and a blank period and generating a count signal in which a time duration of the blank period is counted and a power control signal; a data driver supplying a data signal to the data line; and a power supply controlling a source driving voltage supplied to the data driver according to a duration of the blank period based on the power control signal. When the count signal reaches a reference value, the controller supplies a start signal for output of the first scan signal to the scan driver.

  • Publication number: 20210335282
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a first memory, and a degradation compensator. The first memory device stores stress data including degradation values representing a degradation degree of each of the blocks in the display panel. The degradation compensator loads the stress data from the first memory device, updates the stress data based on current input data and a maximum degradation value, updates the maximum degradation value based on degradation values included in the updated stress data, and generate compensated data by compensating for the current input data based on the updated stress data. The degradation compensator determines whether a first degradation value included in the stress data is normal by comparing the first degradation value with the maximum degradation value, and updates the first degradation value based on at least one adjacent degradation value adjacent to the first degradation value, when the first degradation value is abnormal.
