Abstract

A pixel circuit of a flat panel display device and a method for driving thereof are provided. The pixel circuit includes a first transistor having a first gate electrode coupled to a scan line, a second electrode coupled to a data line, a second gate electrode coupled to a controlling signal line, and a first electrode, a second transistor having a first gate electrode coupled to the first electrode of the first transistor, a second electrode coupled to a first voltage source, a second gate electrode coupled to the controlling signal line, and a first electrode, a capacitor coupled between the first gate electrode of the second transistor and the first electrode of the second transistor, and an organic light emitting diode coupled between the first electrode of the second transistor and a second voltage source, in which the threshold voltage of the first and second transistors may be controlled to the required level by supplying a controlling signal of a fixed voltage level to the second gate electrodes of the first and second transistors through the controlling signal line.
