  • Patent number: 10593241
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting a defect of a sensing transistor disposed in each sub pixel of an organic light emitting display device and extracting a coordinate of a sub pixel in which a defective sensing transistor is disposed. A defect detecting data voltage is applied to a data line after initializing a reference voltage line and a voltage of the reference voltage line is sensed during an interval in which the scan transistor is turned on and the sensing transistor is turned off to determine whether the sensing transistor is defective.

  • Patent number: 10424253
    Abstract: A display device and a power monitoring circuit. The power monitoring circuit monitors whether or not first power is ordinarily output from a power management integrated circuit (PMIC). When the first power is not ordinarily output, the power monitoring circuit outputs an error detection signal indicative of an abnormality in the PMIC to a main controller. The display device includes the power monitoring circuit. The operating state of the PMIC supplying power required for the driving of a display panel can be monitored.

  • Patent number: 10339873
    Abstract: The present exemplary embodiments relate to devices and methods of processing data obtained by sensing a characteristic parameter of a sub pixel. A controller which receives a first clock signal and sensing data output from a data driver generates a second clock signal having a same phase as the first clock signal and outputs image data that is compensated based on the sensing data in accordance with the generated second clock signal to the data driver. By doing this, the controller generates the second clock signal using a part of the first clock signal output from the data driver and transmits the image data so that a skew or signal distortion which may be generated at the time of transmitting/receiving data is suppressed to improve sensing and compensation precision and suppress an image abnormality due to the sensing and compensation failure.
