1. A organic light emitting display, comprising:
- a scan driver connected to scan lines;
a data driver connected to data lines;
pixels connected to the scan lines and the data lines, the pixels being adapted to generate light while applying an electric current from a first power source to a second power source through an organic light emitting diode;
a power source unit adapted to generate the first power source; and
a compensating unit adapted to control a voltage value of the first power source.

18. A method for driving an organic light emitting display including pixels for generating light using an electric current from a first source to a second power source through an organic light emitting diode, the method comprising:
-
(i) generating the first power source by a power source unit; (ii) amplifying a voltage across a resistor installed between the first power source and the pixels; (iii) comparing the amplified voltage with a reference voltage, and generating a counter signal according to the comparison result so that the amplified voltage becomes identical with the reference voltage; (iv) transferring the counter signal to a digital-analog converter as a compensating signal; (v) supplying the compensating signal converted into a digital signal by the digital-analog converter to the power source unit; and (vi) controlling a voltage of the first power source by the power source unit according to the compensating signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
