US 2022/0068189 A1 · DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DRVING THE SAME

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display panel, a gate driver, a data driver and a driving controller. The display panel includes an edge area having a rounded shape in a first state and having a flat shape in a second state. The gate driver applies a gate signal to a gate line of the display panel, the data driver applies a data voltage to a data line of the display panel, and the driving controller processes input image data according to the first state and the second state. The display panel includes a first display area having a first pixel density and a second display area having a second pixel density less than the first pixel density. The second display area corresponds to the edge area of the display panel.
