1. An organic light emitting display comprising:

  • a pixel unit including a plurality of pixels disposed at intersecting points of data lines, scan lines and light emitting control lines;

    a temperature sensor provided to measure a temperature of the pixel unit;

    a first analog/digital converter (first ADC) to convert temperature information measured by the temperature sensor into a first digital value;

    a controller to receive the first digital value outputted from the first ADC and to output a control signal corresponding to the received first digital value;

    a sensing unit to extract information of a degradation level of an organic light emitting diode included in each of the pixels;

    a second analog/digital converter (second ADC) to receive the information of the degradation level of the organic light emitting diode extracted from the sensing unit and the control signal outputted from the controller and to generate a second digital value corresponding to the information of the degradation level of the organic light emitting diode and the temperature of the pixel unit;

    a conversion unit to convert an input data (Data) into a correction data (Data′

    ) so as to display an image having uniform luminance regardless of the degradation level of the organic light emitting diode according and the temperature of the pixel unit, by using the second digital value outputted from the second ADC; and

    a data driver to receive the correction data (Data′

    ) outputted from the conversion unit and to generate data signals to be supplied to the pixels.
