A display device includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels and a plurality of data lines connected to the pixels, and a data driver which provide a plurality of data voltages to the data lines. The data driver includes a plurality of channels, where each of the channels outputs an ndata voltage in an nhorizontal period, and outputs an (n+1)data voltage in an (n+1)horizontal period, where n is a natural number, a common line, a plurality of data switches, which selectively connect the channels to the data lines, respectively, a plurality of common switches, each of which selectively connects a corresponding one of the channels to the common line, and a voltage sensor which senses a common voltage of the common line.

Data driver, display device including the same, and method for driving display device

A display device includes a source device to output image data in a normal mode and in a re-synchronization mode, and refrain from outputting the image data in a panel self-refresh mode, and a sink device to perform a displaying operation based on the image data in the normal mode, store the image data at a time when an operating mode is changed from the normal mode to the PSR mode, perform the displaying operation based on the still image data in the PSR mode, and perform a frame-timing synchronization operation in the re-synchronization mode in response to a PSR-exiting command, wherein the frame-timing synchronization operation includes a first period in which a length-change of a vertical blank period is measured, a second period in which a temporary panel on-off clock is determined, and a third period in which the temporary panel on-off clock is applied to the adjustment-target frame.
