1. A display device comprising:
a memory;
a pixel unit including first pixels disposed with a first density in a first area, the pixel unit including second pixels disposed with a second density less than the first density in a second area in contact with the first area; and
a degradation compensator which updates degradation information stored in the memory, based on input grayscales for the first pixels and the second pixels, and changes the input grayscales to output grayscales, based on the degradation information,
wherein the degradation compensator stores the degradation information in the memory in a unit of block for the pixel unit, and
wherein the memory stores only first degradation information for each of first blocks including only the first pixels, stores only second degradation information for each of second blocks including only the second pixels, and stores both the first degradation information and the second degradation information for each of third blocks including both the first pixels and the second pixels.
