Abstract

A display device is disclosed that includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels configured to receive an initialization voltage through an initialization voltage line, a controller configured to output a voltage control signal for controlling a voltage level of the initialization voltage, and a power manager configured to provide the initialization voltage to the initialization voltage line, change the voltage level of the initialization voltage to an initialization level at or after a power-on time at which a power starts to be supplied and before a display-on time at which an image starts to be displayed based on the voltage control signal, and change the voltage level of the initialization voltage to a target level corresponding to a luminance of the image at or after the display-on time based on the power control signal.

Claims (46)

1 . A display device comprising:

a display panel including a plurality of pixels configured to receive an initialization voltage through an initialization voltage line;

a controller configured to output a voltage control signal for controlling a voltage level of the initialization voltage; and

a power manager configured to provide the initialization voltage to the initialization voltage line, change the voltage level of the initialization voltage to an initialization level at or after a power-on time at which a power starts to be supplied and before a display-on time at which an image starts to be displayed based on the voltage control signal, and change the voltage level of the initialization voltage to a target level corresponding to a luminance of the image at or after the display-on time based on the power control signal,

wherein the power manager is configured to change the voltage level of the initialization voltage from the target level to the initialization level during a vertical porch period in which a data voltage is not provided to each of the pixels based on the voltage control signal.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein an absolute value of the initialization level is less than an absolute value of the target level.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the initialization level is about −1 V to about 1 V.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a polarity of the initialization level is different from a polarity of the target level.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the power manager is configured to change the voltage level of the initialization voltage to a predetermined fixed level at or after the power-on time and before the voltage level of the initialization voltage is changed to the initialization level, and

an absolute value of the initialization level is less than an absolute value of the fixed level.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the power manager is configured to change the voltage level of the initialization voltage from the target level to the initialization level at or after a display-off time at which the display of the image starts to end and before a power-off time at which the supply of the power starts to be cut off based on the voltage control signal.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein the power manager is configured to change the voltage level of the initialization voltage to a predetermined fixed level at or after the display-off time and before the voltage level of the initialization voltage is changed to the initialization level, and

an absolute value of the initialization level is less than an absolute value of the fixed level.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels includes:
