Abstract

An organic light emitting display is capable of reducing variation in power transmitted to pixels to reduce or prevent non-uniformity of brightness from being generated. The organic light emitting display includes a pixel including a red sub pixel, a green sub pixel, and a blue sub pixel and first pixel power source lines for supplying a first pixel power from a first pixel power source to the red sub pixel, the green sub pixel, and the blue sub pixel, wherein the first pixel power source lines coupled to at least two different color sub pixels of the red, green and blue sub pixels have different widths. The first pixel power source lines have widths that may correspond to a voltage drop of the first pixel power source or may correspond to deterioration of the respective sub pixels to which they are coupled.

Claims (25)

1. An organic light emitting display comprising: a plurality of pixels respectively comprising a plurality of sub pixels; a first power source line located between at least two of the sub pixels and coupled to at least one of the sub pixels; and a second power source line located between at least two of the sub pixels and coupled to at least one of other sub pixels different from the at least one of the sub pixels coupled to the first power source line from among the plurality of sub pixels, wherein the first power source line has a greater width than the second power source line.

2. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second power source lines do not overlap the sub pixels.

3. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a distance between sub pixels adjacent to the first power source line from among the plurality of sub pixels is greater than a distance between sub pixels adjacent to the second power source line from among the plurality of sub pixels.

4. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 3 ,

wherein a distance between a center of the first power source line and a center of the second power source line is varied corresponding to the widths of the first and second power source lines.

5. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the widths of the power source lines are in accordance with a voltage drop of a power source supplied to the sub pixels to which they are coupled.

6. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the widths of the power source lines correspond to deterioration of the sub pixels to which they are coupled.

7. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the sub pixels comprise a blue sub pixel, a red sub pixel and a green sub pixel, and

wherein the blue, red and green sub pixels are arranged adjacent each other in a first direction.

8. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising a common pixel power source line,

wherein the first power source line is coupled to the common pixel power source line and to the at least one of the sub pixels to supply a first pixel power to the at least one of the sub pixels, the first power source line extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and being offset from the at least one of the sub pixels, and

wherein the second power source line is coupled to the common pixel power source line and to the at least one of the other sub pixels to supply the first pixel power to the at least one of the other sub pixels, the second power source line extending in the second direction and being offset from the at least one of the other sub pixels.

9. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first power source line is coupled to the blue sub pixel, and the second power source line is coupled to the green sub pixel.

10. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising:

a third power source line coupled to the red sub pixel,

wherein the first power source line has a larger width than the third power sour line.

11. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 9 ,

wherein a distance between the red sub pixel and the green sub pixel arranged in a same row and located adjacent to each other is larger than a distance between the green sub pixel and the blue sub pixel arranged in the same row and located adjacent to each other, and a distance between the blue sub pixel and the red sub pixel arranged in the same row and located adjacent to each other is larger than the distance between the red sub pixel and the green sub pixel arranged in the same row and located adjacent to each other.

12. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a data driver to transmit data signals to the sub pixels through data lines; and

a scan driver to transmit scan signals to the sub pixels through scan lines.

13. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 12 ,

wherein widths of the data lines are smaller than widths of the power source lines.

14. An organic light emitting display comprising: a plurality of pixels respectively comprising a plurality of sub pixels; a first power source line coupled to at least one of the sub pixels; and a second power source line coupled to at least one of other sub pixels different from the at least one of the sub pixels coupled to the first power source line from among the plurality of sub pixels, wherein the first power source line has a greater width than the second power source line, and wherein a distance between sub pixels adjacent to the first power source line from among the plurality of sub pixels is greater than a distance between sub pixels adjacent to the second power source line from among the plurality of sub pixels.
