The present invention provides a novel structure of picture elements in current programming-type semiconductor devices, and in particular, the structure of picture elements of an active matrix organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. The device makes a self-compensation for OLED current deviations due to the deterioration in threshold voltage and uneven electric characteristic in thin film transistors. The invention also provides a method for driving a data driver capable of compensating for the uneven electric characteristic of thin film transistors in the driver for driving picture elements in the current programming-type active matrix OLED display device.
