DISPLAY DEVICE AND THE DRIVING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A display device and a method for driving the same are provided to enhance the dynamic contrast by using a display panel having a low resolution as a backlight unit, thereby improving the display quality. A panel assembly(10) includes a plurality of first gate lines for transmitting a first gate signal, a plurality of first data lines for transmitting a first data signal, and a plurality of first pixels each having a pixel circuit. The first pixels are defined by the first gate lines and the first data lines. A backlight unit(40) includes a plurality of second gate lines for transmitting a second gate signal, a plurality of second data lines for transmitting a second data signal, and a plurality of second pixels. The second pixels are defined by the second gate lines and the second data lines. Each of the second pixels corresponds to at least two of the first pixels, and emits light correspondingly to the highest of gray levels of the at least two of the first pixels.
