Patent ID: 8330685

Claim:
A pixel circuit driving method of a display device including a plurality of data lines extending in a first direction and for transmitting data signals, a plurality of select scan lines extending in a second direction and for transmitting a plurality of select signals, and a plurality of unit pixels, each of the unit pixels including a plurality of sub-pixels, the pixel circuit driving method comprising: applying at least one of the select signals to a corresponding one of the plurality of select scan lines in a first subfield of a field, and applying at least one of the data signals to at least one of the plurality of data lines; applying a first emission control signal to at least one of the unit pixels to which a corresponding one of the select signals and a corresponding one of the data signals are applied, to emit light in a first sub-pixel of the plurality of sub-pixels; applying at least one of the select signals to a corresponding one of the plurality of select scan lines in a second subfield of the field, and applying at least one of the data signals to at least one of the plurality of data lines; and applying a second emission control signal to at least one of the unit pixels to which a corresponding one of the select signals and a corresponding one of the data signals are applied, to emit light in a second sub-pixel of the plurality of sub-pixels, the first and second sub-pixels being arranged in the first direction, wherein the first subfield and the second subfield constitute a plurality of subfields.
