Organic light-emitting display panel and organic light-emitting display device
In an organic light-emitting display panel and an organic light-emitting display device, lighting lines arranged in the organic light-emitting display panel to be used for lighting inspection are connected to portions of power lines arranged in the organic light-emitting display panel, in which a voltage drop occurs. In a display driving period, a voltage the same as a voltage applied to the power lines is applied to the lighting lines. Then, the lighting lines can be used as auxiliary power lines, so that additional lines for compensating for the voltage drop are not required. Power compensation is enabled without increasing the voltage applied to the power lines. The uniformity of images can be improved without increasing power consumption.
