Patent attributes
The invention provides a display device in which occurrence of a display defect called a ghost is prevented, and a driving method thereof, and a television set. According to the invention, a gate control signal (GWE) which has been one signal is divided into a first gate control signal (GWE1) and a second gate control signal (GWE2), or a pulse-width control signal (PWC) is used in addition to one gate control signal (GWE) which has been used, thereby preventing a period for outputting a video signal to a pixel by a source driver and a period for selecting a gate line by an erasing gate driver from overlapping each other. Then, video signal writing to a pixel where an erasing operation is performed is prevented, so that occurrence of the display defect called a ghost is prevented.
