Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. A display device comprising:
a host which transmits image data and a control signal through a first interface and transmits a plurality of smart size change signals through a second interface different from the first interface;
a display driving integrated circuit including a first interface unit which receives the image data and the control signal through the first interface, and a second interface unit which receives the smart size change signals through the second interface; and
a display panel which receives the image data, the control signal, and a data signal corresponding to the smart size change signals from the display driving integrated circuit to display an image, wherein the display driving integrated circuit includes a data processor setting a non-active area of the display panel based on the smart size change signals,
and wherein the second interface includes a plurality of connection lines respectively transmitting the smart size change signals so that a size of the non-active area is determined through a combination of respective levels of the smart size change signals.
