Abstract

Dot inversion schemes are disclosed on novel display panel layouts with extra drivers. A display panel comprises substantially a set of a subpixel repeating group comprising a pattern of six columns and two rows: R R G B B G B B G R R G wherein at least one set of adjacent column subpixels share image data from a single driver upon the display panel.

Claims (100)

1. A display panel comprising substantially a set of a subpixel repeating group comprising a pattern of six columns and two rows:

R

wherein at least one set of adjacent column subpixels share image data from a single driver upon the display panel.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the single driver connects to two column lines through an interconnect.

3. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the subpixels are sized substantially the same as RGB striped subpixels.

4. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the adjacent columns across the display panel comprise R R and B B subpixels that share image data via an interconnection from a single driver.

5. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the at least one set of adjacent columns comprise R R and B B subpixels that are driven separately by at least two drivers.

6. The display panel of claim 5 , wherein subpixel regions to either side of the at least one set of adjacent columns have different polarities for same colored subpixels.

7. A display panel comprising substantially a first set of a first subpixel repeating group comprising at least an even number of subpixels in a first direction wherein said panel further comprises at least one of a second set of a second subpixel repeating group formed on the display panel, said second subpixel repeating group comprising an odd-number of columns of subpixels and further wherein said second subpixel repeating group is adjacent to said first subpixel repeating group;

wherein said first subpixel repeating group comprises the pattern:

R

formed substantially across the display panel; and

wherein said second subpixel repeating group comprises one of a group of patterns, the group comprising:

a method comprising:

driving at least one set of adjacent column subpixels with image data from a single driver upon the display panel.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

connecting the single driver to two column lines through an interconnect.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the subpixels are sized substantially the same as RGB striped subpixels.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

driving adjacent columns across the display panel comprising R R and B B subpixels with image data via an interconnection from a single driver.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

driving at least one set of adjacent columns comprising R R and B B subpixels separately by at least two drivers.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

applying different polarities for same colored subpixels in subpixel regions to either side of the at least one set of adjacent columns.

14. A display panel comprising:

at least one driver; and

substantially a set of a subpixel repeating group comprising a pattern of six columns and two rows:

R

R

wherein at least one set of adjacent column subpixels share image data from the at least one driver upon the display panel.

15. The display panel of claim 14 , further comprising:

an extra driver assigned to at least one of double red and double blue subpixel columns of the repeating group.

16. The display of claim 15 , wherein subpixels on adjacent sides with respect to the extra driver have different polarities.

17. The display of claim 14 , wherein one of the red and blue subpixel columns is split into first and second subpixel components.

18. The display of claim 17 , further comprising:

an extra driver assigned to the split subpixel columns.

19. The display of claim 14 , further comprising:

an extra driver connected to a column line such that the column line acts as a dummy line.
