A display device includes a pixel unit including pixels, a compensator which generate compensation image data by scaling grayscale values of input image data based on temperature data corresponding to an ambient temperature of the pixel unit, a timing controller which generates image data based on the compensation image data, and a data driver which generates a data signal corresponding to the image data and supply the data signal to the pixels. The compensator scales the grayscale values of the input image data in a way such that the grayscale values of the input image data decrease when the ambient temperature is greater than a reference temperature. The compensator scales the grayscale values of the input image data in a way such that the grayscale values of the input image data increase when the ambient temperature is less than the reference temperature.
