Patent ID: 10297194

Abstract:
Disclosed is an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device. The OLED display device includes a target current setting unit connected to a pixel via a data line, to set a target current meeting a data voltage during a sampling period before a holding period to a target current to drive an OLED element during the holding period. The pixel includes a drive thin film transistor (TFT) for driving the OLED element, a first switching TFT to connect the drive TFT to a first power line for the sampling period such that the drive TFT serves as a diode, a second switching TFT to connect a source electrode of the drive TFT to the data line for the sampling period, and a capacitor connected between gate and source electrodes of the drive TFT, to store a drive voltage for the drive TFT determined based on the target current.
