Abstract: Disclosed is a display device including a display panel, a voltage generator, a current detector, and a current controller. The display panel includes a pixel for receiving a driving voltage. The voltage generator generates the driving voltage, determines a voltage level of the driving voltage based on a voltage control signal, and performs a protection operation in response to a protection signal. The current detector detects a driving current of the display panel and outputs a current signal corresponding to the detected driving current. The current controller includes a current comparison unit that generates a result signal by comparing a present current level of the current signal from the current detector to a previous current level and a protection operating unit that receives the result signal and outputs the protection signal based on a change in the load and a difference between the target current and the current signal.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel which displays an image, a current compensator and a panel driver. The current compensator calculates a load based on input image data and compensates the input image data to output compensation image data having a target current corresponding to the load. The panel driver drives the display panel based on the compensation image data. The current compensator calculates the load for the input image data based on a combination of load weights calculated by different variables.
