Display apparatus and method of driving the same

A method of driving a display apparatus comprising a micro-shutter including a first electrode and a second electrode, the method comprising:

• applying a common voltage having a first voltage level to a latch circuit of the display apparatus;
• performing data-loading to transmit a data signal to a capacitor of the display apparatus applied with a shutter voltage in response to a gate signal;
• setting a voltage level of an operation voltage applied to the latch circuit to a ground voltage to initialize the latch circuit;
• boosting the common voltage to a second voltage level higher than the first voltage level;
• applying a voltage of the capacitor to a first input node of the latch circuit connected to one of the electrodes in response to an update voltage;
• and
• resetting the common voltage to the first voltage level.
