Driving Circuit and Display Device Using the Same

A display device comprising:

• a display panel including a display area including a plurality of pixels and non-display area surrounding the display area;
• a scan driver on the non-display area on both sides of the display area of the display panel;
• and
• a light emission signal driver on the non-display area adjacent to the scan driver of the display panel,
• wherein each the plurality of pixels includes:
• an electroluminescent device;
• a pixel circuit including:
• a driving transistor including a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode, the driving transistor supplying a driving current to the electroluminescent device;
• at least one NMOS switching transistor configured to connect the drain electrode of the driving transistor and the gate electrode of the driving transistor in accordance with a scan signal supplied from the scan driver;
• and
• at least one PMOS switching transistor,
• wherein the pixel circuit is operable to vary a refresh rate of the electroluminescent device into a first refresh rate and a second refresh rate that is lower than the first refresh rate including at least one refresh frame period and at least one hold frame period, and
• wherein the at least one refresh frame period and the at least one hold frame period each includes a bias period.
