Light-emitting display device and method of sensing degradation thereof

Abstract:

A light-emitting display device includes a display panel including a high-potential power voltage line and a low-potential power voltage line and provided with a plurality of pixels each including a driving transistor and an organic light-emitting diode, a timing controller configured to generate N (N being a natural number) sensing images depending on a size of accumulated image data by accumulating image data for each pixel, and to display the display panel of data of at least one sensing image of the N sensing images on the display panel and to obtain an amount of degradation of organic light-emitting diodes in a sensing mode, and a degradation sensing unit configured to estimate the amount of degradation of the organic light-emitting diodes by sensing an electrical physical quantity for each panel or for each region in a panel in a state in which the at least one sensing image is displayed on the display panel, and to provide the amount of degradation of the organic light-emitting diodes to the timing controller.
