A display device includes: a display including a plurality of pixels; and a controller configured to: receive an external input image signal, adjust the external input image signal to compensate for brightness deviations of the pixels, and transmit corresponding image data signals to the pixels, wherein the controller includes: a data input section configured to receive the external input image signal and transmit a test image data signal to the pixels through a data driver, a luminance information extracting section configured to: extract brightness information for the pixels after displaying a test image in accordance with the test image data signal, and calculate first, second, and third parameters, using the brightness information, and a data compensating section configured to generate the image data signals by adjusting the external input image signal based on the first, second, and third parameters.

Display device and method for compensation of image data of the same

An organic light emitting diode display including a display including data lines, scan lines, sense lines, and pixels electrically coupled to the data, scan, and sense lines, a compensator for sensing first and second driving currents flowing to the pixels corresponding to first and second test data in a compensation mode, to compare first and second reference currents with the first and second driving currents, respectively, and to update compensation data, a signal controller for compensating input data according to the compensation data to generate image data, and for changing the input data into the first and second test data in the compensation mode; and a data driver for generating a plurality of data signals by using one of the image data, the first and second test data, and to supply the data signals to the data lines.
