1. A display device comprising:
a display panel including a plurality of pixels connected to a plurality of scan lines and divided into a first display area which operates at a first operating frequency and a second display area which operates at a second operating frequency;
a scan driving circuit, which drives the plurality of scan lines in synchronization with a clock signal; and
a driving controller, which outputs the clock signal,
wherein, while an operating mode is a multi-frequency mode, the scan driving circuit provides scan signals of a first operating frequency to first scan lines positioned in the first display area among the plurality of scan lines, and provides scan signals of a second operating frequency lower than the first operating frequency to second scan lines positioned in the second display area among the plurality of scan lines,
wherein a hold frame of the multi-frequency mode includes a first section during which the first display area is driven, and a second section during which the second display area is driven, and
wherein the driving controller has a control signal generator that outputs the clock signal in a normal power mode during the first section and outputs the clock signal in a low-power mode during the second section.
