Patent ID: 8018405

Claim:
An organic light emitting display device comprising: a gate drive circuit for generating scan signals and providing the scan signals to a plurality of scan lines; a data drive circuit for providing data signals to a plurality of data lines when the scan signals are applied to the scan lines; an emission control signal generation circuit for generating first and second emission control signals and providing the first and the second emission control signals to a plurality of emission control lines to control emission of organic light emitting diodes; and a display region including a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, the pixels coupled to the plurality of scan lines, the plurality of data lines, the plurality of emission control lines, and a plurality of power lines, wherein each of the plurality of pixels comprises a first unit pixel portion having a first pixel circuit and at least two of the organic light emitting diodes and a second unit pixel portion having a second pixel circuit and one of the organic light emitting diodes, and wherein the first unit pixel portion is configured to perform a time division control drive by sharing the first pixel circuit among the at least two of the organic light emitting diodes, and the second unit pixel portion is configured to drive the one of the organic light emitting diodes using the second pixel circuit while the first unit pixel portion is driving each of the at least two of the organic light emitting diodes, such that one frame is divided into sub-frames, the first unit pixel portion is configured to drive one of the at least two of the organic light emitting diodes while the second unit pixel portion is configured to drive the one of the organic light emitting diodes during a first sub-frame of the sub-frames, and the first unit pixel portion is configured to drive another one of the at least two of the organic light emitting diodes while the second unit pixel portion is configured to drive the one of the organic light emitting diodes during a second sub-frame of the sub-frames.
