  • Patent number: 11705075
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a first memory, and a degradation compensator. The first memory device stores stress data including degradation values representing a degradation degree of each of the blocks in the display panel. The degradation compensator loads the stress data from the first memory device, updates the stress data based on current input data and a maximum degradation value, updates the maximum degradation value based on degradation values included in the updated stress data, and generate compensated data by compensating for the current input data based on the updated stress data. The degradation compensator determines whether a first degradation value included in the stress data is normal by comparing the first degradation value with the maximum degradation value, and updates the first degradation value based on at least one adjacent degradation value adjacent to the first degradation value, when the first degradation value is abnormal.

  • Patent number: 11455935
    Abstract: A display device according to an embodiment includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels, and an image sticking compensator configured to generate a second image data by reflecting an age data accumulated in a first image data input from an external source. The image sticking compensator generates the age data by accumulating a deterioration data generated by reflecting a frequency weight corresponding to a determined frequency of a previous frame to an image data of the previous frame after the image data of the previous frame is stored.
