A display device includes a display panel that displays an image, a panel driver that drives the display panel, and a driving controller that controls driving of the panel driver. The driving controller compensates first image data corresponding to a first area of the display panel where a still image is displayed during at least a predetermined time period, in a first compensation method to generate first compensation image data for the first area, and compensates second image data corresponding to a second area of the display panel different from the first area in a second compensation method different from the first compensation method that uses a load calculated based on previous image data.
