Abstract: A pixel driver includes a plurality of stages, with each stage including a pixel driving signal generator, a shift register, and a selection circuit. The pixel driving signal generator generates a pixel driving signal. The shift register receives image data and the pixel driving signal and generates an output control signal for determining whether to output the pixel driving signal based on the image data and the pixel driving signal. The selection circuit selectively outputs the pixel driving signal in response to the output control signal.

Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel and a panel driver for driving the display panel during a plurality of driving frames whose frequencies are varied. Among the driving frames, a first driving frame having a first frequency includes a first write period, and a second driving frame having a second frequency lower than the first frequency includes a second write period and a variable blank period. The panel driver includes a data driver and a driving controller. Each of the first and second write periods includes N horizontal periods (N is an integer number equal to or greater than 1), each of the N horizontal periods has a first duration, and each of the first and second write periods has a second duration corresponding to N times of the first duration. The driving controller applies a training synchronizing signal to the data driver during the variable blank period.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display and a controller. The display includes a plurality color sub-pixels, each including an organic light emitting diode and a driving transistor to drive the organic light emitting diode. The driving transistor drives in a saturation region for a normal mode and in a linear region for a standby mode. The controller controls a first portion of preset-color sub-pixels among the color sub-pixels to emit light and a second portion of the preset-color sub-pixels among the color sub-pixels to not emit light in the standby mode.
