1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a memory including information on duty cycles corresponding to each frequency of the display; and
at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, configured to control the electronic device to:
perform an operation according to a first duty cycle configuration based on the display operating at a first frequency;
perform an operation according to a second duty cycle configuration based on the display operating at a second frequency;
based on detecting an event while driving the display at the first frequency, switch to driving the display at the second frequency, wherein the switch is made after a duty cycle at the time the event occurred and before a first duty cycle in the first frequency expires; and
increase a number of duty cycles in the second duty cycle configuration relative to a number of duty cycles in the first duty cycle configuration by a multiple of an integer based at least on a determination that the second frequency is decreased relative to the first frequency,
wherein one duty cycle comprises a light emitting period and a non-light emitting period.
