Abstract
A pixel for an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display is disclosed. One inventive aspect includes an organic light emitting diode, a first transistor, a first capacitor, a second transistor and a second capacitor. The first transistor is configured to control an amount of current flowing from a first power source to a second power source via the organic light emitting diode in response to a voltage of a first node. The first capacitor is connected to a data line and has a first terminal. The second transistor is connected to a second terminal of the first capacitor and a second node and is configured to be turned on when a scan signal is supplied to a scan line. The second capacitor is connected to the second and first nodes.
