a display panel which displays an image during a plurality of driving frames;
a panel driver which drives the display panel; and
a driving controller which controls a driving operation of the panel driver,
wherein the driving controller divides the display panel into a first display area and a second display area based on an image signal,
wherein each of the plurality of driving frames includes a full frame in which the first display area and the second display area are driven, and a plurality of partial frames in each of which an entire portion of the first display area is driven and an entire of the second display area is not driven,
wherein the first display area operates at a first operating frequency during an n-th driving frame among the plurality of driving frames and the first display area operates at a second operating frequency different from the first operating frequency during an (n+1)-th driving frame among the plurality of driving frames, wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 1,
wherein the n-th driving frame includes k partial frames, and the (n+1)-th driving frame includes j partial frames, k and j are integer greater than or equal to 1, and k and j have different values from each other and are determined by the first and second operating frequencies, and
wherein the k partial frames have the same duration as each other in the n-th driving frame, and the j partial frames have the same duration as each other in the (n+1)-th driving frame.
