Claim 5:
6. A method of controlling a display device including a substrate, a display panel including a first display region having first pixels, a second display region having second pixels, and a third display region located between the first and second display regions and having third pixels, and a light sensor disposed between the substrate and the display panel to overlap the second display region and not to overlap the first and third display regions, the method comprising:
receiving image data;
determining a region on which the image data is to be displayed;
correcting the image data; and
providing the corrected image data to a corresponding display region,
wherein the correcting of the image data comprises:
correcting the image data such that a first group of unit pixel regions of the third display region emits light during a first display period; and
correcting the image data such that a second group of unit pixel regions of the third display region emits light during a second display period subsequent to the first display period,
wherein the third display region does not have any light sensors, and
wherein the third display region surrounds an entirety of the second display region, the first and third pixels have the same material and layout,
the first group of unit pixel regions and the second group of unit pixel regions are arranged to alternate with each other, and
the first display period and the second display period are alternately repeated.
