Abstract
In a display apparatus and a method for driving the display apparatus, the display apparatus includes a display panel and a gate driving part. The display panel has a gate line, and a gate driving part has a plurality of stages and a plurality of signal lines. At least one of the stages includes a transferring stage sequentially driving the stage, and an output stage partially driving the gate line, in response to a signal outputted from the transferring stage and a driving area selection signal. Accordingly, the display apparatus is partially driven, so that current consumption may be decreased, the display apparatus may be more safely driven, and a position, a size and the number of a non-display area may be more easily controlled.
