20220165200 | DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DRIVING DISPLAY PANEL USING THE SAME - An embodiment of a display apparatus includes a display panel, a driving controller, and a data driver. In operation the driving controller determines a gain reducing area based on an edge load of input image data corresponding to an edge area of the display panel and compensates a grayscale value of the input image data corresponding to the gain reducing area to generate a data signal. The data driver converts the data signal to a data voltage and outputs the data voltage to the display panel. | 2022-05-26 |
