  • Patent number: 10854143
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting display device includes a display unit having a plurality of pixel units. The display device also includes a timing controller for calculating a black bias pixel ratio (BBPR) of the display unit based on image signals provided by an external source and for generating a control signal based on the BBPR. The BBPR is the ratio of a number of pixel units in a black state to a total number of pixel units. A power supply unit provides a driving voltage to the display unit based on the control signal from the timing controller, wherein the power supply unit provides a first driving voltage to the display unit when the BBPR is less than a reference value and provides a second driving voltage, which is higher than the first driving voltage, otherwise.

  • Publication number: 20200058241
    Abstract: A wiring-disconnection detecting circuit includes a low-power voltage supply, a monitoring wiring, and a wiring-disconnection determiner. The low-power voltage supply supplies a low-power voltage to a low-power voltage wiring that extends along a periphery of a display panel in a normal operating mode of the display panel and supplies a test voltage to the low-power voltage wiring in a wiring-disconnection detecting mode of the display panel. The monitoring wiring includes a first end connected to one point of the low-power voltage wiring and a second end at which a feedback voltage corresponding to the test voltage is output in the wiring-disconnection detecting mode. The wiring-disconnection determiner receives the feedback voltage from the second end, measures an RC delay of the feedback voltage, and determines that the low-power voltage wiring is disconnected when the RC delay is larger than a predetermined reference value.

  • Publication number: 20190318690
    Abstract: A display device includes a pixel, a first control pad, a second control pad, and a first dummy pad. The pixel may emit light with luminance corresponding to a data signal. Supply of the data signal to the pixel depends on a first control signal and a second control signal. The first control pad is connected to a first control line for supplying the first control signal. The second control pad is connected to a second control line for supplying the second control signal. The first dummy pad is positioned between the first control pad and the second control pad and may receive a first dummy signal. A voltage level of the first dummy signal is in a range from a voltage level of the first control signal to a voltage level of the second control signal.
