1. A display apparatus, comprising:
a pixel array;
a driving controller, configured to perform an image processing on a first input grayscale data and a second input grayscale data;
a data driving circuit, coupled to the driving controller and the pixel array, wherein the data driving circuit is configured to provide driving signals to drive the pixel array based on a grayscale data output from the driving controller,
wherein in response to the first input grayscale data which has a first grayscale value not greater than a first threshold,
the data driving circuit is configured to output a first driving signal to the pixel array based on a first output grayscale data output from the driving controller, wherein the first output grayscale data is generated without by performing a first dither computing on the first input grayscale data; and
wherein in response to the second input grayscale data which has a second grayscale value greater than a second threshold, and a grayscale value of the second threshold is greater than a grayscale value of the first threshold,
the data driving circuit is configured to output a second driving signal to the pixel array based on a second output grayscale data output from the driving controller, wherein the second output grayscale data is a dithered grayscale data generated by performing a second dither computing on the second input grayscale data.
