Patent ID: 7382341

Claim:
An organic electroluminescent device, comprising: a substrate; a gate line on the substrate; a data line crossing the gate line to define a pixel region; a power line substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the gate line; a first switching thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; a first driving thin film transistor connected to the first switching thin film transistor and the power line; a storage capacitor connected to the first driving thin film transistor and the power line; an organic electroluminescent diode connected to a drain terminal of the first driving thin film transistor, wherein the organic electroluminescent device emits light during the emitting time section and does not emit light during the rest time section; a gate driver connected to the gate line; a data driver connected to the data line; and a power control driver supplying a power voltage to a source terminal of the first driving thin film transistor through the power line, the power voltage having an On value during an emitting time section of a single frame and an Off value during a rest time section of the single frame, wherein the first driving thin film transistor is turned on when the On value and the Off value are applied to the organic electroluminescent diode during the emitting time section and the rest time section, respectively.
