Abstract
An electro-luminescence display device and a method of driving the same for controlling a full white brightness depending upon a brightness of the external environment and thus controlling a brightness mode is disclosed. An electro-luminescence display device according to the present invention comprising: a display panel having pixels light-emitted by a supplied current; a data driver for applying a data voltage corresponding to said current to the pixels; and a timing controller for dividing one frame into a plurality of sub-frames and applying said data voltage corresponding to each of the plurality of sub-frames to the data driver and for controlling an emission time of each frame.

29. A flat panel display device, comprising:
-
a display panel having a plurality of pixels; a photo sensor detecting a brightness of the external environment of the display panel; a timing controller receiving N-bit video signals (wherein N is an integer) and the detected brightness and dividing one frame into a plurality of sub-frames, the timing controller modulating the N-bit video signals in response to the detected brightness and the number of the sub-frames; and a data driver receiving the modulated N-bit video signals from the timing controller and applying data voltages corresponding to the modulated N-bit video signals to the pixels, wherein the timing controller includes; a selection signal generator for generating a selection signal in response to the detected brightness from the photo sensor; a first data converter for converting the N-bit video signals (wherein N is an integer) into a first M-bit data (wherein M is an integer larger than N); a second data converter for converting the N-bit video signals into a second M-bit data, wherein a number of gray levels of the second M-bit data are less than that of the first M-bit data; and a selector for selectively applying the N-bit video signals to any one of the first and second converters in response to the selection signal. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 45)
