Display device and method of driving the same

A method of driving a display device, comprising:

• outputting a plurality of data voltages by a data driver to a first pixel of a display unit, a second pixel of the display unit, a third pixel of the display unit, and a fourth pixel of the display unit in a different order for each of a plurality of frames,
• wherein the second pixel is disposed adjacent to the first pixel in a first direction, the third pixel is disposed adjacent to the first pixel in a second direction crossing the first direction, and the fourth pixel is disposed adjacent to the third pixel in the first direction, and
• wherein each of the first to fourth pixels comprises a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel;
• outputting a first scan signal to the first pixel and the second pixel;
• and
• outputting a second scan signal which is delayed from the first scan signal to the third pixel and the fourth pixel,
• wherein the first sub-pixel of each of the first pixel and the third pixel displays a same color, wherein the second sub-pixel of each of the first pixel and the third pixel displays a same second color, and
• wherein, in an Nth frame of the plurality of frames, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel of the first pixel each connected to a respective one of first adjacent data lines stores the data voltage of the first pixel in a floating state with the data driver, and the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel of the third pixel each connected to a respective one of second adjacent data lines stores the data voltage of the third pixel in a connection state with the data driver.

A display device, comprising:

• and
• a scan driver configured to output a first scan signal to the first pixel and the second pixel, and to output a second scan signal which is delayed from the first scan signal to the third pixel and the fourth pixel,
• wherein the display unit further comprises a first data line, a second data line, a third data line, a fourth data line, a fifth data line, a sixth data line, a seventh data line, and an eighth data line arranged in the first direction and extending in the second direction,
• wherein the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel of the first pixel are connected to the second data line and the third data line, respectively,
• wherein the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel of the second pixel are connected to the sixth data line and the seventh data line, respectively,
• wherein the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel of the third pixel are connected to the fifth data line and the fourth data line, respectively, and
• wherein the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel of the fourth pixel are connected to the first data line and the eighth data line, respectively.
