## Abstract

The present invention relates to an OLED pixel driving circuit which has a data input unit for sending out controlling signals, a voltage storage unit for storing voltages from a first power source, a driving unit for receiving the controlling signals from the data input unit to selectively activate the voltage storage unit, a second power source providing a voltage to be stored in the voltage storage unit; and a switch connected to the second power source to offset potential loss of the first power source from the voltage stored in the voltage storage unit. The compensation circuit can not only compensate the non-uniformity of the threshold voltage but also eliminate the non-uniformity of the OLED display caused by the power IR drop, so that the effect of display of the OLED are maximally improved.
