Abstract: A display device includes a display panel and a panel driver configured to drive the display panel. The panel driver receives input image data corresponding to first, second, and third colors at an input frame frequency, and detects whether the input image data represent a still or dynamic image. If the input image data represent the dynamic image, the panel driver drives the display panel at a first output frame frequency substantially the same as the input frame frequency. If the input image data represent the still image, the panel driver calculates a plurality of flicker indexes of the still image for at least two of the first, second, third colors, one or more combinations of the first, second, and third colors, and drives the display panel at a second output frame frequency that is determined based on the plurality of flicker indexes.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel which defines first and second display areas, and includes pixels connected to data lines and scan lines, respectively, a data driving circuit which drives the data lines, a scan driving circuit which drives the scan lines, and a driving controller which receives an image signal and a control signal, control the data and scan driving circuits according to an operation mode, and output clock signals. In a multi-frequency mode, the scan driving circuit includes a first scan driving circuit corresponding to the first display area and a second scan driving circuit corresponding to the second display area. The second scan driving circuit sequentially drives first scan lines among scan lines corresponding to the second display area during a first frame, and sequentially drives second scan lines among scan lines corresponding to the second display area during a second frame.

Abstract: An OLED display device includes display panel and a panel driver. The panel driver receives input image data at an input frame frequency and determines whether the input image data represent a still image. When the input image data do not represent the still image, the panel driver drives the display panel at a first output frame frequency substantially equal to the input frame frequency. When the input image data represent the still image, the panel driver drives the display panel at a second output frame frequency lower than the input frame frequency for a low frequency driving time and drives the display panel at a third output frame frequency higher than the second output frame frequency for a high frequency insertion time determined by one of a panel characteristic of the display panel and a representative gray level of the input image data, after the low frequency driving time.
