Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when an image is displayed with only three primary color pixels, light efficiency deteriorates
Specifically, in an OLED display, since the material of the emitting layer of OLED changes according to the color, the luminous efficiency of the emitting layer is further deteriorated

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] A four-color display device receives input image signals for pixels of three primary colors (eg, red, green, and blue pixels) to generate output image signals for red, green, blue, and white pixels.

[0033] Alternatively, the four-color display device only emits white light according to the white pixels, wherein the color temperature of the white pixels is determined by the material of the emitting layer and the manufacturing process. The actual color temperature of a white pixel will differ from the preferred target color temperature of white light.

[0034] The present invention seeks to provide a four-color display device which is advantageous in that the color temperature of white light is corrected to a target color temperature.

[0035] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more fully with reference to the ...

Abstract

A display device and a driving method thereof are provided. The display device includes a plurality of pixels that displays a first color, a second color, a third color, and a white color; a signal processor that generates a white color output image signal based on three input image signals displaying the first to third colors, generates a white color temperature correcting constant based on the white color output image signal, and generates first color, second color, and third color output image signals that correct the first color, second color, and third color input image signals based on the white color temperature correcting constant; and a data driver that converts the output image signal to a data voltage and supplies the data voltage to the pixel to allow the pixel to display an image. Therefore, a color temperature of white light that four color pixels emit can be adjusted to a target color temperature by adjusting an image signal value related to the remaining three color pixels according to luminance of white light that a white pixel emits.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0069192 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jul. 24, 2006, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a display device and a driving method thereof, in particular to a multicolor organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. Background technique [0003] Recently, flat panel displays that can replace cathode ray tubes (CRTs) have been actively researched. A flat panel display includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix to display three primary colors. By determining one color by combining three colors emitted from three pixels, the flat panel display displays a desired image by appropriately controlling the brightness of each pixel. [0004] However, when an image is displayed with only three primary color pixels, light efficiency may be degraded. In particular, in the OLED display, sin...
