DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE SAME

摘要

A display apparatus comprises: a plurality of gate lines connected to a plurality of pixel lines; a plurality of data lines connected to a plurality of pixel rows; a display panel including at least one dummy pixel lines arranged in the peripheral surrounding a display region in which the pixel lines and pixel rows are arranged and a dummy gate line connected to a dummy pixel row; a gate driving circuit which is connected to the gate lines and the dummy gate line and outputs a gate signal; and a data driving circuit which provides a data signal of pixel rows adjacent to the dummy pixel rows and a dummy data signal having a level difference from the dummy pixel row. According to this, dummy pixel rows are arranged and driven in each of the upper and bottom regions of the display region, thereby improving the luminance difference caused by kick back voltage generated in a pixel row that is finally driven at the time of forward or reverse direction scan mode. In addition, by applying a data signal applied to the first and last pixel rows and a dummy data signal having each voltage difference from a dummy pixel row, a crosstalk improvement effect can be increased.
