An organic light emitting diode display shown in FIG. 1 includes a display panel 1 having a plurality of pixel areas to display an image; A
In the display panel 1, a plurality of sub-pixels P are arranged in a matrix form in each pixel area to display an image, and each sub-pixel P independently of the light emitting cell OLD and the light emitting cell OLD. And a cell drive unit (DVD) for driving. Specifically, each sub-pixel P as shown in FIG. 2 has a gate line GL, a data line DL, a compensation power line CPL, an emission control line EL, and an initialization line INI. ) And a light emitting cell OLD, which is equivalently represented by a diode connected between the cell driver DVD and the cell power source DVD and the second power signal GND, respectively. Equipped.
The cell driver DVD includes first to fifth switching elements T1 to T5, a driving switching element DT, and a storage capacitor Cst. Here, the first to fifth switching elements T1 to T5 and the driving switching element DT may be constituted by an NMOS transistor or a PMOS transistor. Hereinafter, the first to fifth switching elements T1 to T5 and the driving switching element DT may be formed. An example in which the driving switching device DT is made of a PMOS transistor will be described.

3 is a waveform diagram illustrating a method of driving an organic light emitting diode display according to the present invention.
One frame period, that is, the frame period for each pixel, is divided into an initialization period t0, a data charger period t1, and a light emission period t2.
First, in the initialization period t0, before the low logic gate voltage is sequentially supplied to the corresponding gate line GL, low logic level initialization signals are supplied to the initialization lines INI to provide the second node N2. And the third node N2 are initialized. In this case, the second switching elements T2a and T2b connect the driving switching element DT in the form of a diode in response to a logic initialization signal supplied from the initialization line INI, thereby providing the first switching element T1. By initializing the second and third nodes N2 and N3 before the data signal Vdata is supplied to the first node N1, the short circuit of the data signal Vdata and the reference voltage Vref is prevented. can do.
A low logic gate voltage is sequentially supplied to the gate line GL between the data chargers t2, and then a light emission control voltage of high logic is supplied to the light emission control line EL. Accordingly, the first, second and fifth switching elements T1, T2, and T5 of each sub pixel P are turned on, and the third and fourth switching elements T3 and T4 are turned off. do. The data voltage Vdata from the data line DL is supplied to the first node N1 through the turned-on first switching element T1, and is driven through the turned-on second switching element T2. The gate electrode and the drain electrode of the switching element DT are connected to each other. Accordingly, since the driving switching element DT becomes a forward diode, the threshold voltage Vth of the driving switching element DT is supplied to the gate electrode of the driving switching element DT, that is, the second node N2. The threshold voltage Vth of the driving switching element DT is sampled at the two nodes N2. At this time, the first power signal VDD, which is a high potential voltage, is supplied to the source electrode of the driving switching element DT, so that the threshold voltage of the first power signal VDD and the driving switching element DT is supplied to the second node N2. The difference voltage VDD-Vth is supplied.
Subsequently, during the light emission period t2, a high logic gate voltage is supplied to the gate line GL, and a light emission control signal of low logic is supplied to the light emission control line EL. Accordingly, each of the first, second and fifth switching elements T1, T2, and T5 is turned off while the third and fourth switching elements T3 and T4 are turned on. In this case, the reference voltage Vref is supplied to the first node N1 through the turned-on fourth switching element T4.
At this time, the voltage across the storage capacitor Cst is kept constant because no current path is formed in the cell driver DVD. Therefore, the voltage on the second node N2, which is the other end of the storage capacitor Cst, is changed by the voltage change amount Vref-Vdata on the first node N1, which is one end of the storage capacitor Cst. That is, VDD-Vth + Vref-Vdata is supplied to the second node N2.
Subsequently, the driving switching element DT is turned on by the voltage between the gate and source electrodes. Accordingly, the current supplied from the driving switching element DT to the light emitting cell OLD through the third switching element T3, that is, the current N3I of the third node N3 is expressed by Equation 1 below. In Equation 1, β represents a constant value, and Vth_R represents an actual threshold voltage of the driving switching device DT.
In Equation 1, if the threshold voltage Vth of the sampled driving switching element DT and the threshold voltage Vth_R of the actual driving switching element are the same, the current output to the driving switching element DT is a high potential voltage ( VDD) is determined by the reference voltage Vref and the data voltage Vdata without being affected by the drop and the threshold voltage of the driving switching element DT. Therefore, deterioration in image quality due to hysteresis of the driving switching element DT may be minimized.
As described above, the organic light emitting diode display and the driving method thereof according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention simplify the driver circuit of the display panel by alternately driving the data lines of the display panel 1 of the organic light emitting diode display. The manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, in the process of alternately driving the data lines, a high contrast ratio may be realized and the reliability of the product may be improved by preventing the display quality from being lowered due to image signal distortion.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification but should be defined by the claims.
