Display apparatus and method of driving the same

A display apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of pixels connected to a plurality gate lines and a plurality of data lines;
• a gate driver configured to drive the gate lines;
• a data driver including a plurality of data driving parts configured to drive the data lines;
• a first circuit board electrically connects a first data driving part among the plurality of the data driving parts to a control board;
• and
• a second circuit board electrically connects a second data driving part among the plurality of the data driving parts to the control board,
• wherein the control board includes a display control chip, the display control chip comprising:
• a processor that converts a frequency of an image signal to be suitable for the display apparatus and outputs the converted image signal and a control signal, and
• a timing controller that receives the converted image signal and the control signal from the processor and outputs a first control signal to control the gate driver and a second control signal and a data signal to control the data driver in response to the converted image signal and the control signal.
