Abstract

A display apparatus including a display, a memory configured to store moving trajectory information related to a plurality of moving trajectories, and a processor configured to control the display to display a specific pixel which is pixel-shifted according to a first moving trajectory among the plurality of moving trajectories in a plurality of image frames included in a first frame interval. The processor, based on completing of the specific pixel being pixel-shifted according to the first moving trajectory, moves the specific pixel located at a starting point of the first moving trajectory by pixel units in any one of a vertical direction and a horizontal direction, and control the display to display the specific pixel by being pixel-shifted according to a second moving trajectory among the plurality of moving trajectories in a plurality of image frames included in a second frame interval.
