TIMING CONTROLLER, ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (OLED) DISPLAY HAVING THE SAME AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE OLED DISPLAY

A timing controller (100), OLED display having the same and method of for driving the display are disclosed. The timing controller (100) includes a failure mode determiner (120) that can receive an input signal (IS) and determine whether the OLED display is in a failure mode based on the input signal (IS). The timing controller (100) also includes a failure mode generator (140) configured to store a fail signal, output the fail signal in the failure mode, and selectively output a multiplexed signal (CS) including one of the input signal or the fail signal based on whether the OLED display is in the failure mode. The timing controller (100) further includes a failure mode controller (160) configured to receive the multiplexed signal (CS) from the failure mode generator (140), store the multiplexed signal, and selectively output the multiplexed signal of a current frame or the multiplexed signal of a previous frame (OS) based on whether the OLED display is in the failure mode.
