Abstract
A display device configured to minimize a layout area of a driver and a method of driving the same is provided. First and second scan drivers are disposed on opposite sides of a display panel. Each of the first and second scan drivers has a plurality of circuit parts corresponding to a plurality of scan lines. A height of the circuit part is equal to a height of subpixels adjacent in a vertical direction. A scan pulse generated from a circuit part of the first scan driver can be supplied to a circuit part of the second scan driver and subpixels disposed on the scan line connected to the circuit part. The circuit part of the second scan driver generates another scan pulse in response to the scan pulse.
Claims17
A display device comprising:
- a display panel having a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels having R, G and B subpixels arranged in intersections between a plurality of data lines and a plurality of scan lines;
- a scan driver that drives the plurality of scan lines;
- and
- a data driver that drives the plurality of data lines,
- wherein the scan driver includes first and second scan drivers disposed on opposite sides of the display panel, thereby minimizing a layout area of the scan driver.
A method of driving a display device, the display device including:
- a display panel having R, G and B subpixels formed in intersections between a plurality of data lines and a plurality of scan lines;
- first and second scan drivers disposed on opposite sides of the scan lines to drive the scan lines;
- and a data driver for driving the data lines, the method comprising:
- a) supplying a first scan signal from the first scan driver to a first scan line;
- b) selecting subpixels disposed on the first scan line in response to the first scan signal, and supplying the first scan signal to the second scan driver;
- c) displaying a predetermined image on the selected subpixels according to a data signal supplied from the data driver;
- d) supplying a second scan signal in response to a second scan signal from the second scan driver to a second scan line;
- and
- e) repeating the steps b) to d).
