Electronic device and method of driving the same

An electronic device comprising:

• a display panel comprising a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, and a plurality of pixels connected to the data lines and the scan lines;
• a plurality of scan stages corresponding to the scan lines, wherein each of the scan stages receives clock signals and a carry signal, and outputs a scan signal;
• and
• a plurality of masking circuits electrically connected to at least two scan stages among the scan stages, respectively, wherein each of the masking circuits receives a masking signal and outputs a masking carry signal in response to the masking signal and the scan signal of a corresponding stage connected thereto as the carry signal of a next stage of the corresponding stage connected thereto,
• wherein the masking signal comprises a first masking signal and a second masking signal, and
• wherein each of the masking circuits comprises:
• a first masking transistor connected between a terminal of the corresponding scan stage, from which the scan signal of the corresponding scan stage is output, and a carry output terminal, wherein the first masking transistor includes a first gate electrode which receives the first masking signal;
• and
• a second masking transistor connected between the carry output terminal and a first voltage terminal which receives a first voltage of the corresponding scan stage, wherein the second masking transistor includes a second gate electrode which receives the second masking signal.
