Patent ID: 8907869

Claim:
An organic light emitting display, comprising: a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, a plurality of power lines and a plurality of light emission control lines; and a plurality of pixels at regions defined by the plurality of gate lines, the plurality of data lines, the plurality of power lines, and the plurality of light emission control lines, wherein each of the plurality of pixels comprises: a first switching transistor for providing a data signal in response to a current scan signal; a driving transistor for generating a driving current corresponding to the data signal; a capacitor for storing the data signal; an electroluminescence element for emitting light in accordance with the driving current; and a discharge transistor for discharging the data signal from the capacitor in response to a previous scan signal, wherein drain electrodes of the discharge transistors of at least two adjacent pixels of the plurality of pixels are directly connected to each other and are coupled to a single transistor, and wherein the single transistor has a gate electrode directly connected to gate electrodes of the discharge transistors of the at least two adjacent pixels, a source electrode directly connected to the drain electrodes of the discharge transistors of the at least two adjacent pixels, and a drain electrode coupled to a voltage source having an initialization voltage.
