Referring to FIG.
As shown in the figure, a conventional organic light emitting display device has a PLC (Peak Luminance Control) curve defining the maximum luminance of pixels P according to an average picture level (APL) of image data Data And the power consumption is controlled by adjusting the maximum luminance on the basis.
That is, the conventional organic light emitting display device increases the maximum luminance as the actual display area where the image is outputted among the entire display area of the display panel on which the image is displayed, thereby realizing a display device of high luminance and high picture quality .
For example, when the average image level APL is 100% in FIG. 2 (a), that is, when data in which tone values are R, G, B (255, 255, 255) The first gamma reference voltage VG1 including the voltage of the highest gray level corresponding to the maximum luminance (L) of 100nit is assumed to be 100nit when the maximum luminance of the display region (in this case, the entire display region becomes the actual display region) Is generated.
2 (b), when the average picture level APL is 60%, that is, when the gray scale value of the data is the same as in FIG. 2 (a) 60%, the maximum luminance may be 200 nits higher than 100 nit, and a second gamma reference voltage VG2 including the voltage of the highest gray level corresponding to the maximum luminance (L) 200 nit is generated.
2 (c), when the average image level APL is 25%, that is, when the gray scale value of the data is the same as in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) When the average image level APL is reduced to 25%, the maximum luminance may be 400 nits higher than 200 nit, and the gamma voltage of the highest gray, which corresponds to the
In this way, even if data having the same gray scale value is input, the conventional display device reduces the actual display area and decreases the average brightness (APL) of all the data output from the entire display area, thereby increasing the maximum brightness So as to prevent deterioration of image quality and to control power consumption.
However, the conventional organic light emitting display device generates a gamma reference voltage including a voltage of the highest gradation corresponding to the maximum luminance adjusted based on a PLC (Peak Luminance Control) curve for a still image, There is a problem that the image quality is lowered.
