    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a light emission control driver, and a brightness compensator. The display panel includes first pixels in a first display area and second pixels in a second display area. The light emission control driver controls light emission times of the first and second pixels. The brightness compensator detects a degree of deterioration of the first pixels and a degree of deterioration of the second pixels. The degrees of deterioration of the first and second pixels are different. The brightness compensator controls the light emission control driver to set the light emission times of the first pixels differently from the light emission times of the second pixels based on the different degrees of deterioration of the first and second pixels.
