Display panel, a display device, and a method of driving a display panel

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel;
• a scan driver configured to provide a first control signal, a second control signal and a scan signal to the display panel;
• and
• a data driver configured to sequentially provide a first data signal and a second data signal to the display panel,
• wherein the display panel includes:
• a distributor configured to transfer the second data signal to a second data line in a first period of a data period and to transfer the first data signal to a first data line in a second period of the data period, wherein the second period is separate from the first period;
• a first pixel electrically connected to the first data line, configured to initialize a first previous data signal in the data period in response to the first control signal, and configured to store the first data signal in the second period in response to the scan signal;
• and
• a second pixel electrically connected to the second data line, configured to initialize a second previous data signal in response to the second control signal, and configured to store the second data signal in the first period in response to the scan signal.

A method of driving a display panel which includes a first pixel, a second pixel, and a distributor for sequentially providing first and second data signals to the first and second pixels, the method comprising:

• initializing the second pixel in response to a second control signal;
• providing the second data signal to the second pixel using the distributor;
• initializing the first pixel in response to a first control signal and the scan signal in response to the second data signal being provided to the second pixel;
• and
• providing the first data signal to the first pixel using the distributor.

A display panel, comprising:

• a first pixel electrically connected to a first data line and including a transistor having a first electrode connected to the first data line, a second electrode connected to a voltage and a gate electrode connected to an N+1 gate signal line, wherein N is a positive integer;
• and
• a second pixel electrically connected to a second data line and configured to store a second data signal provided via the second data line in a first period of a data period in response to a scan signal,
• wherein the first pixel is configured to be initialized in the data period in response to a control signal provided to the gate electrode of the transistor via the N+1 gate signal line, and store a first data signal provided via the first data line in a second period of the data period in response to the scan signal.
