Claim 12:
13. A display apparatus comprising:
a display panel including a display region including a first display area and a second display area;
a data driver configured to provide a data voltage to the display panel;
a gate driver configured to provide a compensation gate signal and an initialization gate signal to the display region, and including a first stage and a second stage; and
a driving controller configured to control the gate driver and the data driver,
wherein the driving controller is configured to determine a normal driving frequency for the display region in a normal mode, a first driving frequency for the first display area in a multi frequency mode, and a second driving frequency for the second display area in the multi frequency mode,
wherein the first and second stages are each configured to receive an input signal having a pulse-on state and a pulse-off state, and
wherein the second stage is configured to provide the compensation gate signal having a pulse duration shorter than a pulse duration of the compensation gate signal provided to the display region by the first stage in the multi frequency mode when the first and second stages both receive the pulse-off state.
