Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device includes a plurality of OLED pixels. In one aspect, each pixel respectively includes a first capacitor connected between a data line and a first node, a switching transistor connecting the first node and a second node, a second capacitor connected between the second node and a third node, a driving transistor having a gate electrode connected to the third node and controlling a driving current flowing from a first power source voltage to an OLED, and a reference voltage transistor transmitting a reference voltage to the first node. When a light emitting step occurs in which the OLED emits light, it is simultaneously performed in a plurality of pixels by use of a driving current, the switching transistor is turned off and the reference voltage transistor is turned on such that the reference voltage is transmitted to the first node, and a data voltage corresponding to a scan signal of a gate-on voltage respectively corresponding to a plurality of pixels is stored to the first capacitor. Aspects also include pixel circuits and methods of driving the pixels in the display.
