Display device and method of driving same

Abstract

A display device includes: a display panel configured to display images, a power supply configured to generate a high-level voltage and a low-level voltage for driving the display panel, a gate driver including a scan signal generator configured to apply a scan signal to the display panel and an emission signal generator configured to apply an emission control signal to the display panel, and a timing controller configured to control the gate driver, wherein, the timing controller, based on the high-level voltage output from the power supply, controls a start signal for initiating operation of the gate driver to be output after a time period has elapsed, the time period including a threshold voltage sampling period for sampling threshold voltages of driving transistors included in subpixels of the display panel and a dummy frame addition period of at least one frame.
