Display panel having a boosting voltage applied to a subpixel electrode, and method of driving the same

摘要

A display panel including a plurality of pixels. A first pixel among the plurality of pixels includes a first subpixel, which further includes a first subpixel electrode, a first switching element configured to apply a data voltage to the first subpixel electrode, and a second switching element applying a boosting voltage to the first subpixel electrode. The first pixel further includes a second subpixel including a second subpixel electrode and a third switching element applying the data voltage to the low pixel electrode. Accordingly, display quality and reliability of the display panel may be improved.
