Abstract:
1. An organic light emitting diode display comprising: a display panel including a plurality of scan lines receiving scan pulse, a plurality of erase lines receiving erase pulse, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixels each having an organic light emitting diode at each of crossings of the scan lines, the erase lines, and the data lines; a gate drive circuit that generates the scan pulse and the erase pulse so that subfields are turned on for a previously determined value of assigned time; a data converter that divides video data corresponding to 1 frame into a plurality of bit-planes each having a different bitrate, maps bit-planes having a relatively large value of assigned time to first subfields, and maps bit-planes having a relatively small value of assigned time to second subfields arranged between the first subfields, so that time assigned values of successively arranged subfields have a zigzag pattern and a last subfield of the successively arranged subfields has a first maximum time assigned value; and a data drive circuit that converts the video data undergoing the mapping into a data voltage and supplies the data voltage to the data lines, wherein as a bitrate of bit-plane increases, a number of subfields assigned to the bit-plane and relative time assigned values of the subfields increase, wherein one subfield having the first maximum time assigned value and a plurality of subfields having a second maximum time assigned value are assigned to a maximum bit-plane having a maximum bitrate, and wherein the second maximum time assigned value is less than the first maximum time assigned value.
