Organic light emitting display device
First Claim
1. An organic light emitting display device comprising:
- a display panel comprising red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, first blue sub-pixels, and second blue sub-pixels, which are respectively connected to a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines;
a scan drive unit configured to sequentially applies a plurality of scan signals to the plurality of scan lines;
a data drive unit configured to receive an image signal and output a plurality of data output signals;
a demultiplexer configured to distribute the plurality of data signals to the data lines connected to the red sub-pixels, the green sub-pixels, and the first blue sub-pixels in response to a first blue drive selection signal, or distribute the plurality of data output signals to the data lines connected to the red sub-pixels, the green sub-pixels, the first blue sub-pixels, and the second blue sub-pixels in response to a mixed drive selection signal; and
a control unit configured to process raw image data into an image signal and provide the image signal to the data drive unit,wherein the control unit is configured to detect image data belonging to a first color gamut and a second color gamut from the image data, determine a first blue drive area comprising the image data belonging to the first color gamut and a mixed drive area comprising the image data belonging to the second color gamut, provide the first blue drive selection signal to the demultiplexer when the data output signal corresponding to the first blue drive area is provided from the data drive unit to the demultiplexer, and provide the mixed drive selection signal to the demultiplexer when the data output signal corresponding to the mixed drive area is provided from the data drive unit to the demultiplexer.

Abstract
An organic light emitting display device includes a display panel including red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, first blue sub-pixels, and second blue sub-pixels. A data drive unit receives an image signal and outputs a plurality of data output signals. A demultiplexer distributes the data signals to the red sub-pixels, the green sub-pixels and either the first blue sub-pixels or both the first and second blue sub-pixels in response a drive selection signal. A control unit processes raw image data and provides an image signal to the data drive unit, and detects image data belonging to a first color gamut and a second color gamut from the image data, determines a first blue drive area belonging to the first color gamut and a mixed drive area belonging to the second color gamut, and provides the appropriate selection signal to the demultiplexer to increase efficiency and extend useful life of the display.
