Abstract

A light emitting display device includes multiple pixels arranged in multiple pixel rows, a first scan signal generator that provides a first scan signal to the pixels in the pixel rows, a second scan signal generator that provides a second scan signal to the pixels in the pixel rows, a third scan signal generator that provides a third scan signal to the pixels in the pixel rows, and a light emission signal generator that provides a light emission signal to the pixels in the pixel rows. Each of the second scan signal generator, the third scan signal generator, and the light emission signal generator provides a same signal to the pixels in two of the pixel rows.
