A display device, comprising: a timing control unit receiving a video signal including a control pattern from outside and generating a characteristic control signal and image data based on the control pattern; and a display unit displaying an image based on the image data, wherein the control pattern includes a data pattern in which effective data is encoded, and the timing control unit decodes the data pattern to generate the characteristic control signal including the effective data.

Display device receiving a control pattern through a video interface and method of driving the same

A display device includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels and divided into a plurality of regions, a data driver generating a plurality of reference gamma voltages based on a gamma control signal and including a data driving integrated circuit applying a data signal generated using the plurality of reference gamma voltages to a corresponding pixel among the plurality of pixels, a memory storing a plurality of gamma voltage data corresponding to a plurality of gamma curves of each of the plurality of regions, and a signal controller determining characteristics of a plurality of images divided and displayed in the plurality of regions using an input image signal, selecting the gamma curves corresponding to the plurality of regions according to the characteristics, and reading gamma voltage data corresponding to the selected gamma curve from the memory to generate the gamma control signal.

Display device and driving method thereof

The inventive concept relates to a display device and a driving method thereof. A display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the inventive concept includes: a display panel including a plurality of pixels and a plurality of data lines; a data driver applying data voltages to the plurality of data lines; a signal controller controlling the data driver; and a graphic controller inputting an image signal that is dithered based on dithering patterns of one set to the signal controller, wherein the signal controller includes a dithering cycle detector configured to detect a dithering cycle which is a cycle in which the dithering patterns of one set are repeated, and a still image detector configured to determine whether a current frame is a frame displaying a still image or a frame displaying a motion picture image based on the dithering cycle and the image signal.
