Abstract

An organic light emitting display device includes pixels at intersection regions of scan and data lines, a scan driver configured to supply a scan signal to the scan lines, a data driver configured to supply a data signal to the data lines, and a timing controller configured to receive from outside frame data including left and right image data, and to insert first blank periods into initial and latter periods of a same frame, the left and right image data being between the initial and latter periods of the same frame.

Claims (39)

1. An organic light emitting display device, comprising:

pixels at intersection regions of scan and data lines;

a scan driver to supply a scan signal to the scan lines;

a data driver to supply a data signal to the data lines; and

a timing controller to receive frame data including left and right image data, and to insert first blank periods into respective first and second periods of a same frame, the left and right image data are to be displayed between the first and second periods of the same frame, wherein the first period is at a beginning of the same frame and the second period is at an end of the same frame, wherein a duration of the first blank period in the first period is different from a duration of the first blank period in the second period, wherein the first blank period during the first period of the same frame is a same period for all of the pixels and wherein the first blank period during the second period of the same frame is a same period for all the pixels, and wherein same image data is applied to all the pixels in each of the first blank periods.

2. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the data driver is to generate the data signal using data supplied from the timing controller.

3. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the same image data is black image data.

4. An organic light emitting display device, comprising:

pixels at intersection regions of scan and data lines;

a scan driver to supply a scan signal to the scan lines;

a data driver to supply a data signal to the data lines; and

a timing controller to receive frame data including left and right image data, and to insert first blank periods into respective first and second latter periods of a same frame, the left and right image data are to be displayed between the first and second periods of the same frame, wherein the first period is at a beginning of the same frame and the second period is at an end of the same frame, wherein the first blank period during the first period of the same frame is a same period for all of the pixels and wherein the first blank period during the second period of the same frame is a same period for all the pixels, wherein same image data is applied to all the pixels in each of the first blank periods, and wherein the timing controller is to insert a second blank period between the left and right image data in the same frame, and wherein the second blank period is different from the first blank period.

5. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 4 , wherein the second blank period is shorter than the first blank period.

6. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the timing controller places the right image data corresponding to a main focus prior to the left image data in the frame.

7. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 6 , wherein the right image data is set to be displayed for a longer period than the left image data.

8. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the timing controller is to control a driving frequency, each of the left and right image data including the first blank period being displayed in the pixels.

9. A driving method of an organic light emitting display device, the method comprising:

receiving frame data including left and right image data; and

inserting first blank periods into first and second latter periods of a same frame, the left and right image data are to be displayed between the first and second periods of the same frame, wherein the first period is at a beginning of the same frame and the second period is at an end of the same frame, wherein a duration of the first blank period in the first period is different from a duration of the first blank period in the second period, wherein the first blank period during the first period of the same frame is a same period for all of the pixels of the display device, wherein the first blank period during the second period of the same frame is a same period for all the pixels in the display device, and wherein same image data is applied to all the pixels in each of the first blank periods.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the same image data is black image data.

11. A driving method of an organic light emitting display device, the method comprising:

receiving frame data including left and right image data;

inserting first blank periods into first and second latter periods of a same frame, the left and right image data are to be displayed between the first and second periods of the same frame; and

additionally inserting a second blank period between the left and right image data in the frame, wherein the first period is at a beginning of the same frame and the second period is at an end of the same frame, wherein the second blank period is different from the first blank period, wherein the first blank period during the first period of the same frame is a same period for all of the pixels of the display device, wherein the first blank period during the second period of the same frame is a same period for all the pixels in the display device, and wherein same image data is applied to all the pixels in each of the first blank periods.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the second blank period is shorter than the first blank period.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the right image data corresponding to a main focus is placed prior to the left image data in the frame.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the right image data is set to be displayed for a longer period than the left image data.

15. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the left image data is to be displayed in a third period,

second image data is to be displayed in a second fourth period, and

a duration of the third period is different from a duration of the fourth period.

16. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 4 , wherein the second blank period is shorter than the first blank period.

17. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 4 , wherein a duration of the second blank period is different from the durations of the first blank periods in the first and second periods.

18. The method according to claim 9 , wherein:

the left image data is to be displayed in a third period,

second image data is to be displayed in a fourth period, and

a duration of the third period is different from a duration of the fourth period.

19. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the second blank period is shorter than the first blank period.

20. The method according to claim 11 , wherein a duration of the second blank period is different from the durations of the first blank periods in the first and second periods.
