The electronic device includes: at least one sensor; a communication module comprising communication circuitry; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: obtain location information of the electronic device; obtain, using the at least one sensor, context information associated with a user of the electronic device based on a location corresponding to the location information; determine whether a designated activity occurs with respect to a product or a service corresponding to the location based on the context information; and provide a function associated with the product or the service based on the occurrence of the designated activity.
Abstract:
Provided are pixel circuits using organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and a driving method thereof, and an organic light emitting display including the pixel circuits. The OLED is driven to emit light by a drive transistor generating a drive current compensated with respect to a threshold voltage difference and mobility deviation. The drive transistor may receive reference voltage and data signals in response to separate scan signals supplied to the pixel circuits via different scan lines. As a result, a threshold voltage compensation time, which may include the time during which a reference voltage is supplied to the drive transistor in response to a particular scan signal, may be set long enough regardless of a time during which the data signal is supplied to the pixel circuits located in respective rows of the organic light emitting display in response to a separate scan signal.
