An organic light emitting display includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels, each pixel among the plurality of pixels including an organic light emitting diode (OLED) connected between a first potential driving power having an initial value and a second potential driving power, and a driving thin film transistor (TFT) connected between the first potential driving power and the second potential driving power; a driver integrated circuit (IC) configured to drive the display panel; a power IC configured to apply the first potential driving power to the display panel; and a sensing unit configured to sense changes in driving characteristics of the display panel each time the first potential driving power varies from an initial value of the first potential driving power in a state where the initial value of the first potential driving power and a test pattern are applied to the display panel.

Organic light emitting display and method for driving the same

A method for driving an organic light emitting display according to an embodiment includes applying an initial value of a high potential driving power and a test pattern to a display panel and sensing changes in driving characteristics of the display panel while varying a voltage level of the high potential driving power from the initial value, deciding whether or not a sensed driving characteristic value of the display panel satisfies a predetermined condition, setting a voltage level of the high potential driving power obtained when the sensed driving characteristic value satisfies the predetermined condition, as a reference value of the high potential driving power, and adding a voltage margin to the reference value of the high potential driving power to determine a final value of the high potential driving power, and driving the display panel using the final value of the high potential driving power.

An organic light emitting diode display includes pixels in which an amount of current flowing in an organic light emitting diode of each pixel is determined depending on a difference between a data voltage and a reference voltage, a control signal generator differently generating a screen brightness control signal depending on a driving mode, a register adjusting unit independently adjusting a reference voltage register value and a gamma register value at each of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) pixels depending on the screen brightness control signal, a reference voltage generator generating the reference voltage of each of the R, G, and B colors based on the reference voltage register value, and a data voltage generator generating the data voltage of each of the R, G, and B colors based on the gamma register value.
