Patent ID: 10297192

Abstract:
A light emitting display device and a method for driving the same are disclosed, in which a source voltage of a driving transistor for compensating for degradation of a light emitting element may be prevented from getting out of a sensing voltage range of an analog-to-digital converter. The light emitting display device comprises a display panel connected to data lines, scan lines and reference voltage lines and provided with pixels, each pixel including a light emitting element; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converting voltages sensed from the pixels through the reference voltage lines into sensing data; and a voltage supply unit supplying a reference voltage to the reference voltage lines. The voltage supply unit supplies a third low voltage and a third high voltage to the ADC in a degradation compensation mode for compensating for degradation of the light emitting element. In the degradation compensation mode, the reference voltage is equal to or higher than the third low voltage.
