Abstract: A display device includes: pixels connected to scan lines, data lines, a first power line, a second power line, and a third power line, where each of the pixels includes a light emitting device and a driving transistor for controlling an amount of current supplied to the light emitting device; and a timing controller for generating output data by using input data. The pixels emit light in response to a data signal corresponding to the output data during a normal driving period, and receive a bias voltage during a recovery driving period in which the pixels do not emit light after the normal driving period. The timing controller is configured to control a length of the recovery driving period in response to the input data.
