  • Patent number: 11308837
    Abstract: A display device includes a data line, a pixel electrically connected to the data line, a data driver for outputting a data voltage, and a transmitter electrically connected between an output terminal of the data driver and the data line. The transmitter may transmit an instance of the data voltage to the data line in a first period. The transmitter may amplify a second instance of the data voltage to generate a reference voltage and then transmit the reference voltage to the data line in a second period different from the first period. The pixel includes a light emitting element for emitting light in response to the first instance of the data voltage. A voltage level of the reference voltage may be higher than a voltage level of the data voltage.

  • Publication number: 20210287608
    Abstract: A display device includes a display unit, a scan driver, and a data driver. The display unit includes pixels coupled to scan lines, sensing scan lines, data lines, and sensing lines. The scan driver supplies a scan signal to the scan lines, and supplies a sensing scan signal to the sensing scan lines. The data driver supplies an image data voltage to the data lines, and detects sensing values of the pixels on a pixel column basis through the sensing lines during a sensing period. The data driver includes an analog-to-digital converter which converts the detected sensing values into digital data during the sensing period and outputs sensing data. The analog-to-digital converter pauses the detection of the sensing values during a first period of the sensing period.
