A pixel circuit includes a light emitting element including a first electrode and a second electrode, a first switching element including a control electrode, a second switching element, a third switching element, a sensing resistor and a fourth switching element. The first switching element applies a first power voltage to the first electrode of the light emitting element. The second switching element applies a data voltage to the control electrode of the first switching element. The third switching element senses a signal of the first electrode of the light emitting element. The sensing resistor includes a first end connected to the second electrode of the light emitting element and a second end which receives a second power voltage. The fourth switching element senses a signal of the second electrode of the light emitting element.

Pixel circuit, display apparatus including the same and method of driving the same

A display device includes a controller, a panel driver, and a voltage generator. The controller generates a first control signal and generates image data and a second control signal in response to first and second image signals. The panel driver generates a driving signal in response to the image data and the first control signal to drive a display panel. The voltage generator generates a driving voltage to drive the display panel and changes a voltage level of the driving voltage in response to the second control signal. The first image signal corresponds to a second frame located before a third frame in which the driving voltage is changed. The second image signal corresponds to a first frame located before the second frame. The controller generates image data corresponding to the second frame in response to the first image signal and the second image signal.

Display device having adjusted driving voltage based on change in image signal

A pixel includes a capacitor including a first electrode and a second electrode, a first transistor which generates a driving current, a second transistor which applies a data voltage to the first electrode of the capacitor, a third transistor which applies an initialization voltage to the second electrode of the capacitor, a fourth transistor which generates a leakage current in response to a dimming signal, and a light emitting element which emits light based on a residual driving current, where the residual driving current is obtained by subtracting the leakage current from the driving current.

Pixel and display apparatus having the same

A display device includes a display panel including gate lines, data lines, and pixels individually connected to a corresponding gate line and data line, a gate driver driving the gate lines, a data driver driving the data lines, and a driving controller. The driving controller receives, from an external source, first image signals and a variable frequency signal indicating an operation frequency (frame rate) for the display device. The driving controller converts the first image signals to second image signals by adding a compensation value corresponding to the operation frequency to the first image signals, and outputs the second image signals to the data driver. Embodiments may compensate for luminance reduction/variation and reduce image artifacts that otherwise occur due to variable frequency operation. An alternative embodiment dynamically controls an amount of light output from a backlight according to the variable frequency signal.

Display device capable of changing luminance depending on operating frequency

A display apparatus includes a display panel, a data driving circuit, and a gate driving circuit. The display panel is configured to display an image and includes a gate line and a data line. The data driving circuit is configured to output a data signal to the data line. The gate driving circuit is configured to output a gate signal to the gate line and to control a kick-back time of the gate signal according to a temperature of the display panel. The kick-back time is a time when the gate signal is decreased from a gate on voltage to a kick-back voltage that is between the gate on voltage and a gate off voltage.
