Abstract: In a display device, a first frame of input image signals is received by a signal controller, stored in a memory, and applied to rows of pixels while a gate driver scans a gate-on voltage to a gate line in a first mode to select a row of pixels, one row at a time. When a gate driver controller detects that a second frame of image signals is being received by the signal controller, the gate driver controller halts the operation of the gate driver until the second frame of input image signals has all been received by the signal controller and until a scan start signal is detected by the gate driver controller.
