A display device includes a display layer, at least one brightness detecting unit group disposed on a light emitting side of the display layer, and a control module coupled to each of the brightness detecting units. The display layer includes a plurality of display units. Each display unit includes at least one sub-pixel. Each brightness detecting unit group includes a plurality of brightness detecting units, an orthographic projection of one brightness detecting unit on the display layer has an overlapping area with an arranging area of one display unit on the display layer. Respective portions, lying in overlapping areas, of the display units corresponding to different brightness detecting units in the same brightness detecting unit group are the same.
