Display device and method of displaying image in display device
A method of displaying an image in a display device may include determining the degree of deterioration of pixels included in a display unit based on image data of a current frame image, determining a shift route of the current frame image so as to correspond to the determined degree of deterioration. The first image data is corrected to second image data so that the current frame image is shifted along the shift route.
1. A method of displaying an image in a display device, the method comprising:
shifting a center of an image from a first pixel to an end pixel in a first direction, according to a first shift route;
shifting the center of the image in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, according to a second shift route;
shifting the center of the image in a third direction opposite to the first direction, according to a third shift route;
shifting the center of the image in a fourth direction opposite to the second direction, according to a fourth shift route; and
shifting the center of the image in the first direction until the center of the image is arrived at a second pixel, according to a fifth shift route,
wherein the end pixel of the first shift route is positioned at a same position as the second pixel with respect to the first direction, is positioned at a different position from the second pixel with respect to the second direction, and is separated from the second pixel by at least one pixel in the second direction.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein shift routes corresponding to a same direction do not overlap each other.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third shift route and the fifth shift route have a same number of pixels.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first shift route has a half number of pixels with reference to a number of pixels of the third shift route.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second shift route has a half number of pixels with reference to a number of pixels of the fourth shift route.
6. A method of displaying an image in a display device, the method comprising:
shifting a center of an image from a first pixel to a second pixel in a clockwise direction, according to a first shift route;
shifting the center of the image from the second pixel to a third pixel in a counter-clockwise direction, according to a second shift route;
shifting the center of the image from the third pixel to a fourth pixel in the clockwise direction, according to a third shift route; and
shifting the center of the image from the fourth pixel to a fifth pixel in the counter-clockwise direction, according to a fourth shift route,
wherein a shortest distance between the first pixel and the second pixel is larger than a shortest distance between the first pixel and the third pixel.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein no pixel exists between the fifth pixel and the third pixel.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein shift routes corresponding to a same direction do not overlap each other.
9. A method of displaying an image in a display device, the method comprising:
shifting a center of an image from a first pixel to a second pixel in a clockwise direction, according to a first shift route;
shifting the center of the image from the second pixel to a third pixel in a counter-clockwise direction, according to a second shift route;
shifting the center of the image from the third pixel to a fourth pixel in the clockwise direction, according to a third shift route; and
shifting the center of the image from the fourth pixel to a fifth pixel in the counter-clockwise direction, according to a fourth shift route,
wherein no pixel exists between the fifth pixel and the third pixel, and
wherein no pixel exists between the first pixel and the fifth pixel.
