Electronic device including display and operating method thereof

A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

• obtaining at least one piece of pixel data corresponding to a first pixel of a display panel;
• controlling a switching circuit to connect a first main source line and a first main gate line configured to be electrically connectible to the first pixel, to a first sub-pixel included in the first pixel;
• driving the first sub-pixel based on the at least one piece of pixel data;
• controlling the switching circuit to connect the first main gate line to a second sub-pixel included in a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel in a second direction, or connect the first main source line to a third sub-pixel in a third pixel adjacent to the first pixel in a first direction intersecting the second direction;
• and
• driving the second sub-pixel or the third sub-pixel based on the at least one piece of pixel data.

An electronic device comprising:

• a display panel comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix;
• a first main gate line extending in a first direction and configured to be electrically connectible to a first pixel and a third pixel adjacent to the first pixel in the first direction among the plurality of pixels;
• a first main source line extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction and configured to be electrically connectible to the first pixel and a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel in the second direction;
• a first switching circuit connected to the first main gate line, the first switching circuit being configured to selectively connect the first main gate line to a first sub-pixel included in the first pixel or a second sub-pixel included in the second pixel;
• a second switching circuit connected to the first main source line, the second switching circuit being configured to selectively connect the first main source line to the first sub-pixel or a third sub-pixel in the third pixel;
• and
• a display driving circuit electrically connected to the display panel and configured to drive the display panel,
• wherein the display driving circuit is configured to control the first switching circuit to sequentially connect the first main gate line to the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel, or to control the second switching circuit to sequentially connect the first main source line to the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel.
