Abstract

A display device includes a display panel including a first data line, a second data line, and a pixel, the pixel including a first sub-pixel coupled to the first data line, and a second sub-pixel coupled to the second data line, a light stress compensator configured to generate a first data voltage control signal for the first sub-pixel based on a second data value of input image data for the second sub-pixel, in response to a first data value of input image data for the first sub-pixel being equal to or less than a first reference value, and a data driver configured to generate a first data signal based on the first data value for the first sub-pixel, to provide a first data voltage to the first data line, and to vary the first data voltage based on the first data voltage control signal.

Claims (23)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel comprising sub-pixels in a first display area, the sub-pixels comprising first sub-pixels to emit light having a first color and second sub-pixels to emit light having a second color; and

a data driver configured to generate data voltages based on data values for the sub-pixels, and to provide the data voltages to the sub-pixels,

wherein, as a first average data value of the first sub-pixels in the first display area changes, the data driver varies a black bias offset voltage of the sub-pixels in the first display area, and

wherein the black bias offset voltage corresponds to a minimum value in a range of the data values.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein, as the first average data value of the first sub-pixels in the first display area changes, the data driver varies a black bias offset voltage of the second sub-pixels in the first display area.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the data driver changes the black bias offset voltage of the second sub-pixels in the first display area, in response to the first average data value being more than a first reference value.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein, as the first average data value increases, the black bias offset voltage of the second sub-pixels in the first display area increases.

5. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein, as the first average data value of the first sub-pixels in the first display area changes, the data driver varies a black bias offset voltage of the first sub-pixels in the first display area.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein a first variation rate of the black bias offset voltage of the first sub-pixels is different from a second variation rate of the black bias offset voltage of the second sub-pixels.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the data driver is configured to vary the data voltages for at least a portion of the range of the data values based on the black bias offset voltage.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the sub-pixels comprises a light emitting element and a first transistor configured to supply a driving current to the light emitting element in response to a corresponding data voltage among the data voltages, and

wherein the first transistor comprises an oxide semiconductor.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of the sub-pixels further comprises a color conversion pattern configured to shift a wavelength of light emitted from the light emitting element.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a target area determiner configured to detect a logo area in which a still image is displayed during a plurality of frames and to determine the logo area as the first display area.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a light stress compensator configured to calculate the first average data value of the first sub-pixels in the first display area based on the data values and to generate a first data voltage control signal for the first sub-pixels based on the first average data value,

wherein the data driver varies the black bias offset voltage based on the first data voltage control signal.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel further includes a second display area excluding the first display area.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the data driver does not vary a black bias offset voltage of the sub-pixels in the second display area even when the first average data value of the first sub-pixels in the first display area changes.

14. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein, as a second average data value of the second sub-pixels in the second display area changes, the data driver varies a black bias offset voltage of the sub-pixels in the second display area.

15. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the first display area and the second display area are divided by a preset reference block.
