  • Publication number: 20230169907
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel, a driving controller, a gate driver and a data driver. The driving controller is configured to insert a compensation image to first image data including a normal image to generate second image data. The gate driver is configured to shift an output time of a gate signal and to output the gate signal having a shifted output time to the display panel. The data driver is configured to generate a data voltage based on the second image data and to output the data voltage to the display panel. A gate shift amount when the compensation image is applied is substantially the same as a gate shift amount immediately before the compensation image is applied.

  • Patent number: 10878768
    Abstract: A method of operating a display device involves detecting whether a frame mode of the display device is a normal mode in which image data are received with a constant frame rate or a variable frame mode in which the image data are received with a variable frame rate. An output buffer drivability of a data driver included in the display device may be set according to the detected frame mode, and an image is displayed by outputting data voltages corresponding to the image data with slew rates corresponding to the set output buffer drivability. Power consumption in output buffer amplifiers may be selectively lowered by setting a relatively low output buffer drivability corresponding to a relatively low slew rate.
