Patent ID: 8854349

Claim:
A display device comprising: a display unit comprising a plurality of scan lines configured to receive a plurality of scan signals, a plurality of data lines configured to receive a plurality of data signals, and a plurality of pixels coupled to the plurality of scan lines and the plurality of data lines; and a scan driver configured to: receive, from a source external to the scan driver, a synchronization signal generated in synchronization with a vertical synchronization signal, a first light emitting clock signal, a second light emitting clock signal representing the first light emitting clock signal shifted by a half cycle, a first initialization signal having a same frequency as and a positive first phase delay less than the half cycle relative to the second light emitting clock signal, and a second initialization signal having a same frequency as and a positive second phase delay less than the half cycle relative to the first light emitting clock signal; generate a plurality of sequential driving signals and the plurality of scan signals; generate respective ones of the plurality of scan signals as an on-voltage level by respective ones of the plurality of sequential driving signals corresponding to a display area according to an area selection signal that divides the display unit into the display area and a non-display area; and generate respective ones of the plurality of scan signals as an off-voltage level corresponding to the non-display area according to an inverted area selection signal.
