Patent ID: 7692673

Claim:
A display device comprising: a plurality of pixels, each comprising a plurality of sub-pixels; a plurality of scan lines through which scan signals are applied to the plurality of pixels; a plurality of first data lines through which first data currents are transmitted to the plurality of pixels; a scan driver for outputting the scan signals to the plurality of scan lines; a demultiplexer comprising a plurality of demultiplexing circuits for demultiplexing second data currents into the first data currents, and for transmitting the first data currents to the plurality of first data lines; and a data driver for transmitting the second data currents to the demultiplexer through a plurality of second data lines, wherein each of the plurality of demultiplexing circuits comprises a plurality of sample/hold circuits concurrently connected to a same one of the plurality of second data lines, the plurality of sample/hold circuits of each demultiplexing circuit for demultiplexing a corresponding one of the second data currents transmitted from the corresponding same one of the plurality of second data lines into at least two of the first data currents, and for transmitting the at least two of the first data currents to at least two of the first data lines, wherein a number of the at least two of the first data lines is an integer multiple of a number of the sub-pixels in each of the pixels.
