9. A method of driving an organic light emitting display device, the method comprising:
-
converting red, green, and blue (RGB) data signals into red, green, blue, and white (RGBW) data signals; calculating an average picture level (APL) for the RGB data signals; generating data signals, such that a data signal selected from among the RGB signals is supplied in a display panel in response to color coordinates of the white (W) data signal among the RGBW data signals being different from a target value; and calculating gain by; multiplying an arithmetical value, obtained by performing an arithmetical operation on a current APL and a maximum APL, with a value corresponding to a difference between a gain of the RGB data signals corresponding to the maximum APL and a gain of the RGB signals corresponding to a target peak luminance APL; and adding the gain of the RGB data signals corresponding to the target peak luminance APL to the result value of the multiplication to calculate the correction gain values of the RGB data signals. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
