The present invention relates to a light emitting device for reducing consumption of an electric power in screen protecting mode. The light emitting device includes a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of pixels, a controller, a data driving circuit and a scan driving circuit. The data lines are disposed in a first direction. The scan lines are disposed in a second direction different from the first direction. The pixels are formed by the data lines and the scan lines. The controller transmits a plurality of first display data. The data driving circuit provides data current corresponding to the first display data transmitted from the controller to the data lines. The scan driving circuit drives the scan lines by a unit of two or more lines under control of the controller when the first display data are repeatedly transmitted to the data driving circuit.
