1. A display device comprising:
an image processor configured to:
convert first data of an input image into reproduction data by a reproduction mask pattern, the reproduction mask pattern including a selected value, a threshold value and an adjustment value between the selected value and the threshold value wherein the first data is lower than the threshold value; and
output the reproduction data;
a panel comprising a plurality of pixels; and
a panel driver configured to supply an output of the image processor to the panel,
wherein pixels displaying the reproduction data include:
a first pixel displaying a first luminance corresponding to the threshold value;
a second pixel displaying a second luminance lower than the first luminance, the second luminance corresponding to the selected value; and
a third pixel displaying a third luminance between the first luminance and the second luminance, the third luminance corresponding to the adjustment value;
wherein the image processor is configured to output second data of the input image that is equal to or greater than the threshold value without converting the second data by the reproduction mask.
