First Claim
1. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display comprising:
- a plurality of scan lines;
a plurality of light-emitting lines;
plurality of light emitting control signals to the light emitting lines;
a plurality of data lines crossing the scan lines and the light-emitting lines;
a plurality of pixels; and
a voltage generator configured to output a third voltage and a fourth voltage different from the third voltage to the pixels, wherein each of the pixels includes;
a pixel circuit configured to receive a first voltage, the third voltage and the fourth voltage; and
an OLED including an anode connected to the pixel circuit and a cathode configured to receive a second voltage having a voltage level lower than that of the first voltage;
wherein the difference between the second voltage and the third voltage is substantially constant, and wherein the pixel circuit is configured to apply the third voltage to the anode.

Abstract
A pixel and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display having the same are disclosed. In one aspect, a pixel includes an OLED including an anode and a cathode and configured to emit light corresponding to data signals applied during first and second frame periods. Each of the first and second frame periods includes a first discharge period and a light-emitting period subsequent to the first discharge period. The pixel also includes a pixel circuit configured to control light emission of the OLED, apply a first voltage to the anode during the light-emitting period, apply a second voltage to the cathode, the second voltage having a voltage level less than that of the first voltage, and apply a third voltage to the anode so as to discharge the anode during the first discharge period. The second voltage has different voltage levels during the first and second frame periods.
