Claim:
1. A method of driving a display panel, the method comprising: increasing a gate signal applied to a gate line from an OFF voltage to an ON voltage in response to an activation of a gate clock signal; and decreasing the gate signal from the ON voltage to at least one kickback compensation voltage between the OFF voltage and the ON voltage through a plurality of steps in response to an activation of at least one kickback compensation signal, wherein decreasing the gate signal comprises: decreasing the gate signal from the ON voltage to a first kickback compensation voltage greater than the OFF voltage in response to a rising edge of a first kickback compensation signal; and decreasing the gate signal from the first kickback compensation voltage to a second kickback compensation voltage between the OFF voltage and the first kickback compensation voltage in response to a rising edge of a second kickback compensation signal different from the first kickback compensation signal.
