Claim:
1. A method of driving a display device, the method comprising: driving a first pixel circuit and a second pixel circuit based on a frame which includes a first field and a second field, the first field of the first pixel circuit overlapping the second field of the second pixel circuit, and the second field of the first pixel circuit overlapping the first field of the second pixel circuit, wherein: operations performed during the first field include: (a) supplying an initialization voltage to a gate electrode of a first transistor by turning on a fourth transistor, (b) supplying a gray scale data voltage to a data line, the gray scale data voltage applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor by turning on a second transistor, and (c) blocking supply of a power supply voltage to an emission element by turning off a third transistor, operations performed during the second field include: (d) supplying the power supply voltage to the data line by turning on the third transistor, the emission element coupled to the data line to emit light based on the power supply voltage, wherein the first and second pixel circuits are in different rows, wherein the second transistor of a (N)th pixel circuit in an (N)th numbered row and the fourth transistor of a (N+2)th pixel circuit in (N+2)th numbered row are simultaneously controlled to be turned on, wherein, when the second transistor of the (N)th pixel circuit and the fourth transistor of the (N+2)th pixel circuit are simultaneously turned on, the supplying the gray scale data voltage to the gate electrode of the first transistor of the (N)th pixel circuit by turning on the second transistor and the supplying the initialization voltage to the gate electrode of the first transistor of the (N+2)th pixel circuit by turning on the fourth transistor of the (N+2)th pixel circuit are executed at the same time.
