1. A display device comprising:
a display panel including a pixel; and
a panel driver which drives the display panel at a first panel frequency in a first driving mode and drives the display panel at a second panel frequency lower than the first panel frequency in a second driving mode,
wherein the pixel includes:
a light-emitting element including a cathode and an anode;
a first transistor connected between a power line and the anode of the light-emitting element;
a second transistor which is connected between a data line and a first electrode of the first transistor and receives a first scan signal;
a third transistor which is connected between a second electrode of the first transistor and a first node and receives a second scan signal;
a fourth transistor which is connected between the first node and an initialization line and receives a third scan signal; and
a fifth transistor which is connected between a gate electrode of the first transistor and the first node and receives a fourth scan signal,
wherein, in the second driving mode, the first and fourth scan signals are simultaneously activated, and
wherein, in the second driving mode, a period of the second scan signal is smaller than or equal to a period of the fourth scan signal.
