Abstract:
1. A flat panel display device comprising: a display region including a plurality of pixels connected to a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines; a dummy display region including a plurality of dummy pixels connected to at least two dummy scan lines and the data lines; a scan driver for providing scan signals and dummy scan signals to the scan lines and the dummy scan lines; a data driver for generating gray scale voltages corresponding to input digital data and for providing the gray scale voltages to corresponding ones of the pixels through the data lines; and a timing controller for controlling the scan driver and the data driver, wherein the data driver uses parasitic capacitance components existing in at least two of the data lines and capacitance components in the pixels and the dummy pixels connected to the at least two of the data lines, as a sampling capacitor and a holding capacitor, to generate the gray scale voltages through charge sharing between the at least two of the data lines.
