Abstract: Disclosed are a capacity variable type twin rotary compressor and a driving method thereof and an air conditioner using the same and a driving method thereof. A vane (124) can quickly and stably maintain contact with a rolling piston (124) even when the vane (124) starts or a compressor switches its driving such that noises resulted from the vane (124) when varying capacity are prevented to thereby greatly reduce noises of a compressor. By alternately driving compression units (110, 120) and allowing capacity to vary according to more than two steps, it is possible to meet various demands for assembly products such as the air conditioner and the enhancing energy efficiency by reducing unnecessary waste of power.
