Patent ID: 7864140

Claim:
A display device comprising a plurality of scan lines including first and second scan lines for applying select signals, a plurality of data lines crossing the scan lines and for applying data signals, and a plurality of pixel circuits respectively coupled to the scan lines and the data lines, wherein each pixel circuit of the pixel circuits comprises: first and second switches serially coupled to a corresponding data line of the data lines; a storage element for charging a voltage corresponding to a data signal applied from the corresponding data line through the first and second switches; a first transistor for outputting a current corresponding to the voltage charged in the storage element; a third switch for blocking current output from the first transistor, the third switch having a first electrode coupled to a light-emitting element and a second electrode coupled to the first transistor; and the light-emitting element for emitting light information corresponding to the current output from the first transistor, wherein one of the first and second switches of a first pixel circuit of the pixel circuits coupled to the first scan line is turned on in response to a select signal of the first scan line and wherein the other one of the first and second switches is turned on in response to a first control signal for controlling an operation of a second pixel circuit of the pixel circuits coupled to the second scan line, the first control signal overlapping the select signal and having a pulse width different than a pulse width of the select signal, wherein the third switch of the second pixel circuit is operated in response to the first control signal.
