Abstract
A method and an apparatus for driving a display device including a histogram calculator to calculate a histogram of pixel data for an input image and a data stretching curve generator, which divides the histogram into n (n being a positive integer above 2) gray level areas to generate a data stretching curve for each gray level area of which a gradient is determined in proportion to a total number of pixel data accumulated for each of the gray level areas, and modulates the pixel data of the input image with the generated data stretching curve.
