Scan driving circuit, display device and method of operating the display device

Abstract

Disclosed is a scan driving circuit that includes an input transistor, an output transistor, and a discharge control transistor. The input transistor is connected between an input terminal, that receives a start signal, and a first node. The input transistor includes a gate electrode connected to a clock terminal. The output transistor is connected between an output terminal, that outputs a scan signal, and a first voltage terminal. The output transistor includes a gate electrode connected to the first node. The discharge control transistor is connected between the first node and a second voltage terminal, and includes a gate electrode connected to the second voltage terminal. Each frame of a second plurality of frames of the start signal includes an address period and a self-scan period. In the address period, a discharge voltage provided to the second voltage terminal is a high voltage. In the self-scan period, a voltage level of the discharge voltage is lower than a voltage level of the high voltage.
