A display apparatus includes a display panel, a gate driver, a data driver and an emission driver. The display panel includes a pixel comprising a switching element of a first type and a switching element of a second type different from the first type. The gate driver is configured to generate a gate signal based on a vertical start signal and a gate clock signal and output the gate signal to the display panel. The data driver is configured to output a data voltage to the display panel. The emission driver is configured to output an emission to the display panel. A driving frequency of the display panel is varied according to an input image. The gate clock signal has an active duration having a varied length according to the driving frequency.
