  • Patent number: 11030967
    Abstract: A display device includes an image analyzing part which determines whether current frame image data includes a crosstalk pattern, and a gamma voltage generator which generates current frame gamma data by applying the asymmetric gamma when the current frame image data do not include the crosstalk pattern, and generates the current frame gamma data by applying a symmetric gamma when the current frame image data includes the crosstalk pattern. The positive polarity and negative polarity data voltages of the asymmetric gamma are asymmetric with each other for each of the grayscales, and the positive polarity and negative polarity data voltages of the symmetric gamma are symmetric with each other for each of the grayscales.

    Abstract: A display device and method is provided that permits selection of a first lookup table or a second lookup table to operate the data driver at respectively different temperatures to prevent heat from damaging the display device. The display device includes a detector which detects the number of toggles in which the amount of change in gray values of successive pixels driven by the same data line in one frame is equal to or greater than a reference gray change amount. A comparator compares the number of toggles detected by the detector with a reference number of toggles, and a lookup table selector which selects any one of a first lookup table and a second lookup table based on the comparison result of the comparator and provides the selected first lookup table or second lookup table to a data driver.
