Patent ID: 11910662
Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A method for driving a display device,
wherein the display device includes:
a first area including first pixels coupled to first scan lines and data lines, each of the first pixels being coupled to a corresponding first scan line among the first scan lines and a corresponding data line among the data lines, and including a first light emitting diode having a cathode coupled to a first power line; and
a second area including second pixels coupled to second scan lines and the data lines, each of the second pixels being coupled to a corresponding second scan line among the second scan lines and the corresponding data line among the data lines, and including a second light emitting diode having a cathode coupled to a second power line,
wherein the first scan lines and the second scan lines are different from each other so that the first area and the second area are not overlapped,
wherein the method comprises:
decreasing voltages of the first power line and the second power line at substantially the same time; and
increasing the voltages of the first power line and the second power line at substantially the same time, and
wherein, in the decreasing, a voltage applied to the first power line is greater than that applied to the second power line.
