A light emitting display including data lines for transmitting data voltages, scan lines for selecting select signals, and pixel circuits. The pixel circuit is coupled to a data line and a scan line. The pixel circuit includes a transistor including first, second, and third electrodes, wherein the third electrode outputs a current corresponding to a voltage between the first and second electrodes. A light emitting element coupled to the third electrode emits light corresponding to the current outputted by the third electrode. A first switch transmits a data voltage in response to a select signal from the scan line. A voltage compensator receives the data voltage transmitted by the first switch and a second power supply voltage and applies a compensated data voltage based on the data voltage, a first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage to the first electrode of the transistor.

Light emitting display, display panel, and driving method thereof

A light emitting display including data lines for applying data voltages corresponding to video signals, scan lines for transmitting select signals, and pixel circuits. Each pixel circuit includes a light emitting element for emitting light, and a transistor including first to third electrodes, for controlling a current output to the third electrode according to a voltage between the first and second electrodes. Each pixel circuit also includes a first switch for diode-connecting the transistor, a capacitor having a first electrode coupled to the first electrode of the transistor, a second switch for applying a corresponding said data voltage to the second electrode of the capacitor in response to a corresponding said select signal from a corresponding said scan line, and a third switch for substantially electrically decoupling the second electrode of the capacitor from a power supply voltage source.
