Abstract: A display apparatus and a sensing method for compensation is disclosed, and more particularly, a method for sensing and compensating for degradation of a driving transistor of a display apparatus and a display apparatus performing the method is disclosed. A method for sensing a threshold voltage of a driving transistor after a display apparatus is powered on and before an image is displayed, and a display apparatus performing the sensing method are provided. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the sensing time in sensing the threshold voltage of the driving transistor.
