DISPLAY APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel which includes a plurality of pixels which receive a data signal to display an image;
a plurality of sensors disposed within the display panel, wherein the plurality of sensors sense an external signal from an exterior of the display apparatus and output a sensing signal corresponding to the external signal;
a data driver which provides the data signal to the plurality of pixels;
a gate driver which outputs a plurality of gate signals to the plurality of pixels; and
a sensor driver which includes a plurality of stages which output a plurality of sensor scan signals to the plurality of sensors,wherein the sensor driver sequentially drives the plurality of stages in a first scan mode, and divides the plurality of stages into two groups of stages and alternately drives the two groups of stages in a second scan mode.
