Claim 12:
13. A method of driving a display device including a display unit, comprising:
receiving temperature data of at least one element set including light-emitting elements disposed in an emission area and implemented as light-emitting diodes, the at least one element set being included in a light-emitting unit;
extracting a first element set having temperature data of a higher temperature than an average temperature among the temperature data of the at least one element set; and
compensating for image data based on the first element set to generate compensation data; wherein
the higher temperature is based on a fewer than average number of light-emitting diodes in the first element set based on an absence of an operable light-emitting diode at a position in the emission area, and
the compensating causing adjustment of a current density of the display device, based on the compensation data, for improvement of a luminous efficiency of the display device.
