  • Publication number: 20240029651
    Abstract: Disclosed are a display device and a method for driving a pixel of the display device. The device and method is capable of securing a time to sense a threshold voltage of a driving transistor and of compensating for the threshold voltage during operation of the pixel. Each of a plurality of pixels has a 5T1C structure including first to fourth transistors and a driving transistor. The first to fourth transistors are configured to apply driving signals through first to fourth scan lines, respectively. Thus, even without increasing the number of driving signals applied to each pixel, a long time for sensing a threshold voltage of each pixel can be secured.
