Abstract
A photo sensor capable of reducing the distortion of signals output from the photo sensor to output a correct measured value and an organic light emitting display using the same. The organic light emitting display includes a pixel unit formed on a transparent substrate to display an image in response to scan signals and data signals, a scan driver generating the scan signals to transmit the scan signals to the pixel unit, a data driver generating the data signals to transmit the data signals to the pixel unit, and a photo sensor including a sensing unit sensing brightness of ambient light to output a sensing signal and a control unit for receiving the sensing signal to output a brightness control signal for controlling brightness of the image. The sensing unit disposed in a predetermined region of the transparent substrate and includes a first photo diode receiving a first driving power source to generate optical current so that a magnitude of the optical current is controlled in response to the brightness of the ambient light, a first capacitor for storing the optical current, and a first switch coupled between the first driving power source and the first photo diode to perform a …
