Display device and method of driving the same

A method of driving a display device that comprises a plurality of pixels corresponding to a plurality of regions, the method comprising:

• generating compensated image data by compensating input image data based on compensation data for the pixels;
• and
• displaying an image corresponding to the compensated image data,
• wherein the compensation data is obtained by performing respective sampling compensation operations for the regions, and
• wherein the compensation data is generated by performing at least two of the sampling compensation operations based on respective sampling matrices having different sizes.

A method of driving a display device that comprises a plurality of pixels corresponding to first and second regions, the method comprising:

• performing a first sampling compensation operation that generates first compensation data for the first region based on a first sampling matrix;
• generating first compensated image data by compensating input image data for the first region based on the first compensation data;
• performing a second sampling compensation operation that generates second compensation data for the second region based on a second sampling matrix;
• generating second compensated image data by compensating input image data for the second region based on the second compensation data;
• and
• displaying an image corresponding to the first and second compensated image data,
• wherein a first size of the first sampling matrix is larger than a second size of the second sampling matrix.
