An electronic device includes a main processor that provides an image signal and an image-sticking correction signal, and a display module that receives the image signal and the image-sticking correction signal and outputs an image data signal obtained by compensating for the image signal. The display module includes a compensation circuit that calculates cumulative stress based on the image data signal and outputs an image-sticking compensation signal and a compensation adjuster that outputs the image data signal obtained by correcting the image signal based on the image-sticking correction signal and the image-sticking compensation signal. The image-sticking correction signal is input by a user manipulation.

In a method of compressing stress data in a display device, the stress data is divided into block stress data for a pixel block, a plurality of compressed codes are generated by encoding the block stress data in a plurality of encoding modes, it is determined whether the plurality of encoding modes are available encoding modes for the block stress data based on code lengths of the plurality of compressed codes and a number of available bits for the pixel block, a final encoding mode is selected among the available encoding modes based on quantization values of the available encoding modes, and a compressed bitstream for the pixel block is generated based on a compressed code corresponding to the final encoding mode among the plurality of compressed codes.

A method of compensating for degradation of a display device includes: determining a reference region including a part of a first display region and a second display region having pixel structures from each other; determining first stress data of first pixels based on a first average luminance value of the first pixels disposed on the part of the first display region; determining second stress data of second pixels based on a second average luminance value of the second pixels disposed on a central region of the second display region; determining third stress data of third pixels based on a third average luminance value of the third pixels disposed on an outer region of the second display region; compensating for degradation of the second pixels based on the first and second stress data, and compensating for degradation of the third pixels based on the first and third stress data.

A display apparatus includes a display panel, a driving controller, and a data driver. The driving controller generates a data signal based on input image data. The data driver converts the data signal into a data voltage and outputs the data voltage to the display panel. The driving controller includes a deterioration compensator. The deterioration compensator generates an alpha value based on a ratio between a sensed current read from a portion of the display panel applied with a high power voltage or a portion of the display panel applied with a low power voltage and a predicted current calculated from the input image data and generates the data signal using the input image data, a stress value of a pixel, and the alpha value.

A method of driving a display panel that includes first and second display-regions includes: determining maximum luminance data among first data including first red data, first green data, and first blue data for the first display-region, calculating a threshold gray-level based on a luminance gain, a gray-level of the maximum luminance data, and a gamma value for the display panel, selecting a smaller value between the threshold gray-level and a maximum gray-level as a gain determination gray-level, calculating a compensation gain obtained by dividing the gain determination gray-level by the gray-level of the maximum luminance data, generating first compensated data by applying the compensation gain to the first data, displaying a first-image in the first display-region based on the first compensated data, and displaying a second-image in the second display-region based on second data including second red data, second green data, and second blue data for the second display-region.
