Abstract

An organic light emitting display device according to an embodiment includes a display panel including n (n is a natural number) number of horizontal lines, an ith (i is a natural number satisfying a condition of 1<i<n−2) scan signal generating unit and an ith emission control signal generating unit. The ith scan signal generating unit generates an ith scan signal and provides the generated ith scan signal to an ith horizontal line and an (i+2)th horizontal line. The ith emission control signal generating unit generates an ith emission control signal to be provided to the ith horizontal line.
