DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A display apparatus, comprising:
- a display panel to display images;
a timing controller to receive input image data at a number of frames per second of a high level and to generate a gate control signal and a data control signal, the timing controller including an image converter to operate in a film mode or a normal mode when the input image data are moving image data and to output film image data at a number of frames per second of middle level lower than the high level during the film mode;
a data driver to apply a data voltage corresponding to the film image data to the display panel based on the data control signal; and
a gate driver to apply a gate voltage to the display panel based on the gate control signal, the display panel to be operated at a frequency of the middle level during the film mode.

Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display panel, a timing controller, a data driver, and a gate driver. The timing controller receives image data at a number of frames per second of a first level and generates a gate control signal and a data control signal. The timing controller includes an image converter that operates in film mode or normal mode when the input image data are moving image data, and that outputs film image data at a number of frames per second of second level lower than the first level during the film mode. The data driver applies a data voltage corresponding to the film image data to the display panel based on the data control signal. The gate driver applies a gate voltage to the display panel based on the gate control signal. The display panel operates at a frequency of the second level during the film mode.

21. A method of driving a display apparatus, the method comprising:
-
inputting image data at a number of frames per second of a high level; analyzing the input image data in a unit of frame to determine whether the input image data are update image data or copy image data; and operating a display panel in a film mode in which the display panel is to be operated at a frequency having a middle level lower than the high level when the update image data of the input image data satisfy a film mode condition, in which the update image data of the input image data are input every frame equal to or greater than K. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A method of driving a display apparatus, the method comprising:
-
inputting image data including update image data and blank image data to a timing controller at a number of frames per second of a middle level lower than about 60 fps; and operating a display panel in a film mode in which the display panel is operated at a frequency having the middle level when a number of the update image data of the image data input during a specific time period satisfies a film mode condition in which the number of the update image data is in a range of between F and G inclusive, where F is a natural number and G is a natural number equal to or greater than F. - View Dependent Claims (27)
