- the corresponding light emitting devices In the case of the OLED display apparatus, if a fixed image (for example, an advertisement image of a store) is displayed for a long time, the corresponding light emitting devices also emit light continuously. If a current continuously flows through a specific light emitting device for a long time, the corresponding light emitting device may be overloaded and thus the lifespan of the corresponding light emitting device may be shortened.

- the afterimage compensation method compensates for brightness reduced by deterioration of pixels, and requires a cooling time which is a time for turning off a display panel for a predetermined time. If a cooling time is not ensured for a sufficient time, the temperature of the display panel increases, and thus a voltage is excessively sensed. Thus, the accuracy of afterimage compensation may be reduced.
