DISPLAY DEVICE

A display device includes a display panel, a power supply a current measurer, a controller, and a sensor. The display panel includes pixels connected between first and second power lines. The power supply applies power voltages to the first and second power lines. The current measurer measures a current applied to the display panel from the power supply through the first and second power lines. The controller outputs a first sensing control signal indicating whether to sense a voltage-current characteristic of the light emitting element of at least one of the pixels based on a measured current. The sensor senses the voltage-current characteristic of the light emitting element in response to the first sensing control signal.
