Abstract

The present disclosure provides a pixel arrangement structure, a fine metal mask set and a display apparatus. The pixel arrangement structure includes a plurality of sub-pixel repetition units along a first direction or a second direction. The plurality of sub-pixel repetition units each form a plurality of pixel units. The sub-pixel repetition units each include one or more first color sub-pixels, one or more second color sub-pixels and one or more third color sub-pixels. Each of the first color sub-pixels and each of the second color sub-pixels independently belong to one pixel unit respectively, and each of the third color sub-pixels is shared by two pixel units. The first direction intersects with the second direction.

Claims (23)

1 . A pixel arrangement structure, comprising a plurality of sub-pixel repetition units along a first direction or a second direction, the plurality of sub-pixel repetition units each forming a plurality of pixel units, the sub-pixel repetition units each comprising one or more first color sub-pixels, one or more second color sub-pixels and one or more third color sub-pixels, wherein each of the first color sub-pixels and each of the second color sub-pixels independently belong to one pixel unit respectively, each of the third color sub-pixels is shared by two of the pixel units, wherein the first direction intersects with the second direction;

wherein the sub-pixel repetition units are rectangular with a size ratio of a length side to a width side being 1.5:1 to 2.5:1;

wherein a size of the width side is 30 to 100 microns and a size of the length side is 45 to 250 microns.

2 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein one of the following conditions is satisfied:

a size of one pixel unit along the first direction is D1, and two sub-pixel repetition units that are adjacent along the second direction are misaligned with a misaligned distance being 0 to D1; or,

a size of one pixel unit along the second direction is D2, and two sub-pixel repetition units that are adjacent along the first direction are misaligned with a misaligned distance being 0 to D2.

3 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein an area of one third color sub-pixel is 1 to 3 times an area of one first color sub-pixel or an area of one second color sub-pixel.

4 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein a length direction of the third color sub-pixels is consistent with an arrangement direction of the pixel units in the sub-pixel repetition units.

5 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein a length direction of the third color sub-pixels is parallel to at least one of a length direction of the first color sub-pixels and a length direction of the second color sub-pixels, or the length direction of the third color sub-pixels is perpendicular to at least one of the length direction of the first color sub-pixels and the length direction of the second color sub-pixels.

6 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein each of the sub-pixel repetition units comprises two first color sub-pixel, two second color sub-pixels and one third color sub-pixel, and each of the sub-pixel repetition units comprises two pixel units,

wherein the third color sub-pixel in each of the sub-pixel repetition units is shared by the two pixel units, and there is no shared sub-pixel between different sub-pixel repetition units;

wherein in each of the sub-pixel repetition units arranged along the second direction, the third color sub-pixel is located between the two second color sub-pixels.

7 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 6 , wherein the two pixel units in each of the sub-pixel repetition units are in mirror symmetry.

8 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein a distance between two adjacent sub-pixels of same color is shorter than a distance between two adjacent sub-pixels of different colors.

9 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein, in each of the sub-pixel repetition units, each of the third color sub-pixels is located between two of the first color sub-pixels.

10 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 6 , wherein in each of the sub-pixel repetition units arranged along the first direction, the two second color sub-pixels are located between the two first color sub-pixels, and the two second color sub-pixels are disposed side by side along the first direction.

11 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 10 , wherein the third color sub-pixel and the two second color sub-pixels are arranged top and bottom along the second direction.

12 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 10 , wherein, along the first direction, two first color sub-pixels in two adjacent sub-pixel repetition units are disposed adjacent to each other.

13 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 6 , wherein in each of the sub-pixel repetition units arranged along the second direction, the third color sub-pixel is located between the two second color sub-pixels.

14 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 13 , wherein the two first color sub-pixels are located in a first sub-pixel column along the second direction, the two second color sub-pixels are located in a second sub-pixel column along the second direction, and the third color sub-pixel is located between the first sub-pixel column and the second sub-pixel column.

15 . The pixel arrangement structure of claim 14 , wherein, in each of the sub-pixel repetition units, the first color sub-pixel and the second color sub-pixel at a same side of the third color sub-pixel are located in a same sub-pixel row.
