Display device

A display device comprising:

• a display panel having a plurality of pixels arranged in a display area to display an image;
• a scan driver configured to drive gate lines of the display area;
• a data driver configured to drive data lines in the display area;
• a timing controller configured to sort input image data to match a resolution of the display area and control driving timing of the scan driver and the data driver;
• and
• a deterioration compensator configured to analyze a deterioration index through the sorted input image data, and generate deterioration-compensated image data based on deterioration index data containing the deterioration index and an input grayscale level of the sorted input image data, to provide it to the data driver,
• wherein the deterioration compensator comprises:
• a deterioration calculator configured to calculate a deterioration weight for the sorted input image data based on the sorted input image data and predetermined reference requirements and to calculate deterioration data containing the deterioration weight,
• wherein the deterioration compensator is configured to calculate deterioration weights and deterioration indices according to the deterioration weights based on the sorted input image data, to modulate the deterioration indices depending on a driving frequency of the display panel, and to generate the deterioration-compensated image data using the deterioration index data containing the compensated and modulated deterioration index and the deterioration data.
