Patent ID: 8681183

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a display panel comprising a plurality of unit pixels, each unit pixel of the plurality of unit pixels including a first sub-pixel electrically connected to a data line, the first sub-pixel receives a first gate signal through a first gate line, and a second sub-pixel electrically connected to the data line, the second sub-pixel receives a second gate signal through a second gate line adjacent to the first gate line; a timing controller comprising a first compensation unit which receives grayscale data corresponding to the plurality of unit pixels and generates first compensation data of the grayscale data using offset values of first sample compensation data sampled from a first gamma curve; and a data driver comprising a second compensation unit which generates second compensation data of the grayscale data using second sample compensation data sampled from a second gamma curve and the first compensation data, wherein the first compensation data is transferred to the first sub-pixel through the data line when the first sub-pixel is turned on by the first gate signal, and the second compensation data is transferred to the second sub-pixel through the data line when the second sub-pixel is turned on by the second gate signal, wherein the first compensation data is applied to the second compensation unit.
