1. A method of driving a display panel, the method comprising:
- detecting a position of a viewer to output a viewer position detection signal;
determining whether the position of the viewer is in a first area or in a second area based on the viewer position detection signal to output a viewer position signal, the first area being less than a reference distance, the second area being not less than the reference distance; and
driving a unit pixel of the display panel using a plurality of gamma values according to the viewer position signal.

Abstract
A method of driving a display panel includes detecting a position of a viewer to output a viewer position detection signal, determining whether the position of the viewer is in a first area or in a second area based on the viewer position detection signal to output a viewer position signal, and driving a unit pixel of the display panel using a plurality of gamma values according to the viewer position signal. The first area is less than a reference distance, and the second area is not less than the reference distance. Thus, side visibility of a display apparatus may be improved.
