Display device

Abstract

A display device includes: a display region including a first pixel region, a second pixel region, and a third pixel region; a dummy region including a first dummy region disposed between the second pixel region and the third pixel region; first, second, and third pixels respectively arranged in the first pixel region, the second pixel region, and the third pixel region in a matrix of vertical lines and horizontal lines; a data converter configured to: receive first image data including effective data corresponding to the display region and dummy data corresponding to the dummy region; and generate second image data by converting a gray scale value of dummy data corresponding to at least one region of the first dummy region in the first image data into a predetermined first gray scale value, the first gray scale value being between a lowest gray scale value and a highest gray scale value.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display device comprising:
 a display region comprising:
 a first pixel region; and 
 a second pixel region and a third pixel region disposed at one side of the first pixel region to be spaced apart from each other; 
   a dummy region comprising a first dummy region disposed between the second pixel region and the third pixel region;   first pixels, second pixels, and third pixels respectively arranged in the first pixel region, the second pixel region, and the third pixel region, the first pixels, the second pixels, and the third pixels are disposed in a matrix of vertical lines and horizontal lines;   a data converter configured to:
 receive first image data comprising effective data corresponding to the display region and dummy data corresponding to the dummy region; and 
 generate second image data by converting the first image data; and 
   is a data driver configured to:
 generate a data signal corresponding to the second image data; and 
 supply the data signal to the first pixels, the second pixels, and the third pixels, 
   wherein the data converter is configured to convert a gray scale value of dummy data corresponding to at least one region of the first dummy region in the first image data into a predetermined first gray scale value, the first gray scale value being between a lowest gray scale value and a highest gray scale value.
