Abstract

An organic light emitting device is disclosed. The organic light emitting device includes a display unit including a plurality of subpixels, a host memory unit that stores image data received from the outside by the frame, a data adjusting unit that fetches the image data frames stored in the host memory unit by the bit and converts one frame into a plurality of subfields and one display memory unit that stores the image data frame converted into the plurality of subfields by the data adjusting unit. When the data adjusting unit converts the frame into the plurality of subfields, the data adjusting unit inserts a black time into at least one of the plurality of subfields.

Claims (16)

1. An organic light emitting device comprising:

a display unit including a plurality of subpixels;

a host memory unit that stores image data received from the outside by each frame;

a data adjusting unit that fetches the image data frame stored in the host memory unit by bits and converts the image data frame into a plurality of subfields, wherein each subfield has a gray level weight value for representing gray scales; and

one display memory unit that stores the image data frame converted into the plurality of subfields by the data adjusting unit and then supplies the image data to the display unit as a display data signal,

wherein when the data adjusting unit converts the frame into the plurality of subfields, the data adjusting unit adds at least one extra subfield to the plurality of subfields and inserts a black time into the at least one extra subfield, and

wherein the at least one extra subfield with the black time is only positioned at a head portion or at an end portion of the frame.

2. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the data adjusting unit converts the frame into the plurality of subfields based on data corresponding to the image data frame, and adds one or more subfields during the conversion.

3. The organic light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein the added subfields are positioned at a head portion or at an end portion of the one frame.

4. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the data adjusting unit includes a look-up table, and the black time is inserted into the added subfields by the look-up table.

5. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the data adjusting unit includes a subfield arranging unit, and

the subfield arranging unit arranges the black time-inserted subfields so that the black time-inserted subfields are stored in the display memory unit.

6. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a length of the black time-inserted subfield section is substantially greater than 3% and equal to or less than 30% of the total length of the one frame section.

7. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the black time is inserted into two or more subfields.

8. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of subpixels each include an emitting layer, and

at least one of the emitting layers includes a phosphorescence material.
