At least one sub pixel of the plurality of sub pixels of at least one pixel is divided into a plurality of divisional sub pixels. Since the divisional sub pixels alternately emit light, it is possible to reduce deterioration speed of the sub pixels, thereby preventing an afterimage from being generated by deterioration of the sub pixels. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An organic light emitting display, comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, wherein each of the pixels comprises a plurality of sub pixels, and wherein at least one of the plurality of sub pixels of at least one of the pixels includes a plurality of divisional sub pixels. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein the plurality of sub pixels comprise a red sub pixel, a green sub pixel, and a blue sub pixel, and wherein each of the red sub pixel, the green sub pixel, and the blue sub pixel is divided into a plurality of divisional sub pixels. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The organic light emitting display of claim 2, wherein each of the red sub pixel, the green sub pixel, and the blue sub pixel are composed of differing numbers of divisional sub pixels, respectively. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein the plurality of sub pixels are comprised of a red sub pixel, a green sub pixel, and a blue sub pixel, and wherein only the blue sub pixel is divided into a plurality of divisional sub pixels. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein the divisional sub pixels within one of the sub-pixels alternately emits light. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The organic light emitting display of claim 5, wherein the plurality of divisional sub pixels within any one of the sub-pixels alternately emits light according to a frame cycle or a time cycle. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The organic light emitting display of claim 5, wherein the plurality of divisional sub pixels are alternately driven according to a frame cycle or a time cycle corresponding to when a total operation time of the display exceeds a predetermined value. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of scan lines, each being coupled to a plurality of sub pixels in a row; and a plurality of data lines, each being coupled to a plurality of sub pixels in a column. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The organic light emitting display of claim 8, wherein the plurality of divisional sub pixels within a single sub pixel are coupled to the scan lines of different rows, respectively. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The organic light emitting display of claim 8, wherein the plurality of divisional sub pixels within a single sub pixel are coupled to a same one of the data lines. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The organic light emitting display of claim 8, further comprising: a scan driver coupled to the plurality of scan lines; and a data driver coupled to the plurality of data lines. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein a same image is displayed on at least one pixel for a predetermined time. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein the at least one pixel comprising the sub pixels that comprise a plurality of divisional sub pixels is intensively provided in a predetermined region of the plurality of rows and columns. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The organic light emitting display of claim 13, wherein the predetermined region is a region adjacent to an edge of the plurality of rows and columns. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The organic light emitting display of claim 13, wherein the predetermined region is a region adjacent to a corner of the plurality of rows and columns. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein ones of the plurality of divisional sub pixels within one of the sub pixels of a pixel emit light of a same color and are independently controlled by being connected to a separate signal lines. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein all of the pixels are comprised of at least one sub pixel that includes a plurality of divisional sub pixels that are independently controlled. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein only a portion of all of the pixels are comprised of at least one sub pixel that includes a plurality of divisional sub pixels that are independently controlled and emits light of a same color. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein each divisional sub pixels within a sub pixel emit light of a same color and are adapted to be driven in an alternate manner. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The organic light emitting display of claim 1, wherein all of the divisional sub pixels within a sub pixel emit a same color of light, and all of the sub pixels within a pixel emit different color light from each other, and each of the divisional sub pixels within a sub pixel is independently controlled.
