Abstract: A display system includes a source device and a sink device. The source device generates red-color display data, green-color display data, and blue-color display data and transmits first packet data including the red-color display data and a red-color display reference gamma-set, second packet data including the green-color display data and a green-color display reference gamma-set, and third packet data including the blue-color display data and a blue-color display reference gamma-set. The sink device converts the red-color display data, the green-color display data, and the blue-color display data into red-color display data-voltages, green-color display data-voltages, and blue-color display data-voltages and displays an image using the red-color display data-voltages, the green-color display data-voltages, and the blue-color display data-voltages. The sink device generates red-color display gamma-voltages, green-color display gamma-voltages, and blue-color display gamma-voltages based on the red-color display reference gamma-set, the green-color display reference gamma-set, and the blue-color display reference gamma-set, respectively.

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.
