Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device including a first pixel connected to a data line and operating in response to a previous first scan signal, a current first scan signal, and a second scan signal, and a second pixel connected to the data line and operating in response to the current first scan signal, a next first scan signal, and the second scan signal. The first pixel and the second pixel are disposed in the same row. A first period in an active period of the current first scan signal overlaps an active period of the previous first scan signal. A second period of the active period of the k-th first scan signal overlaps an active period of the next first scan signal.
