1. A scan driver for driving a plurality of pixels, the scan driver comprising:
stages connected to each other through carry lines,
wherein a first stage among the stages includes:
a first scan circuit configured to generate a first scan signal in response to a stage select signal, and apply the first scan signal to pixels of the same row among the plurality of pixels, and
a second scan circuit electrically connected to the first scan circuit to generate a carry signal overlapping the first scan signal, and configured to provide a second scan signal to the pixels of the same row in response to the carry signal,
wherein the carry signal is output as the stage select signal to a second stage among the stages through one of the carry lines, and
wherein the second scan circuit generates the second scan signal by inverting the carry signal.
