Display device and method for driving the same

摘要

A display device for displaying a standby screen in a standby mode (SM), and a method for driving the same are disclosed. The display device includes: a display panel including pixels, and gate lines (GLs), data lines (DLs), and a common line (CL) connected to the pixels, a gate switching unit connecting the GLs due to an external SM signal, a data driver (DD): converting input data signals into analog signals due to a display mode signal, and supplying the analog signals to the DLs, a data switching unit: grouping the DLs due to the SM signal, and connecting DLs of the same group, and a SM driving unit: driving the GLs due to the SM signal, and driving the DLs of at least one group and the CL to generate a potential difference therebetween. When the SM signal is supplied to the DD, operation of the DD is stopped.

1. A display device, comprising:
a display panel including:
a plurality of pixels;a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines connected to the pixels; anda common line connected to the pixels; a gate switching unit for connecting the gate lines to each other in response to an external standby mode signal; a data driver for:
converting input data signals into analog signals in response to a display mode signal; andsupplying the analog signals to the data lines; a data switching unit for:
grouping the plurality of data lines into a plurality of groups in response to the standby mode signal; andconnecting the data lines belonging to the same group to each other; and a standby mode driving unit for:
driving the gate lines in response to the standby mode signal; anddriving the data lines of at least one of the groups and the common line to generate a potential difference between the data lines of the group and the common line, wherein each of the groups respectively corresponds to all data lines of a same color, wherein each of the groups respectively corresponds to a different color, and wherein the display device is capable of displaying a standby screen with various colors on the display panel.
