Display device and method of driving the same

A display device comprising:

• a first pixel and a second pixel;
• a first gate line which transfers a first gate-on voltage to the first pixel and the second pixel in a first frame, and only transfers a gate-off voltage to the first pixel and the second pixel in a second frame chronologically subsequent and adjacent to the first frame;
• a second gate line which transfers a second gate-on voltage to the first pixel and the second pixel in the second frame, and only transfers a gate-off voltage to the first pixel and the second pixel in the first frame;
• a first data line which transfers a first data voltage to the first pixel in the second frame;
• and
• a first data line which transfers a first data voltage to the first pixel in the second frame;
• a second data line which transfers a second data voltage to the second pixel in the first frame, wherein
• the first pixel represents a gray voltage level corresponding to the first data voltage in response to the second gate-on voltage and represents a black voltage level in response to the first gate-on voltage, and
• the second pixel which represents the gray voltage level corresponding to the second data voltage in response to the first gate-on voltage and represents the black voltage level in response to the second gate-on voltage,
• wherein the stored data in the first frame is maintained until the stored data is discharged in the second frame.

A method of driving a display device comprising a first pixel, a second pixel, a third pixel and a fourth pixel arranged in a matrix form, the method comprising:

• outputting a first gate-on voltage via a first gate line to the first pixel, the second pixel, the third pixel and the fourth pixel in a first frame;
