Abstract

A multi-primary color display has a backlight source and pixels. Each pixel has at least four sub pixels, which display red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color and a fourth primary color, respectively. At the peak position of the fourth primary color located in the wavelength range between 550 nm˜600 nm, the relative luminance ratio of the fourth primary color to the green primary color is greater than or equal to 0.5. When the ratio of the relative luminance meets the requirement and the relative luminance of a newly added primary color is greater than a certain value, the colors beyond the three-primary color gamut, which includes natural colors and other colors outside the natural color gamut, can be reproduced.

Claims (40)

1. A display device, comprising:

a backlight source; and

a plurality of pixels, each of which has at least four sub pixels including red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color, and a fourth primary color;

wherein the relative luminance ratio of the fourth primary color to the red primary color is greater than or equal to 1 at the peak position of the fourth primary color located in the wavelength range between 550 nm˜600 nm.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the fourth primary color is yellow primary color.

3. A display device, comprising:

a backlight source; and

a plurality of pixels, each of which has at least four sub pixels including red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color, and a fourth primary color;

wherein the relative luminance ratio of the fourth primary color to the green primary color is greater than or equal to 0.5 at the peak position of the fourth primary color located in the wavelength range between 550 nm˜600 nm.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the fourth primary color is yellow primary color.

5. A display device, comprising:

a backlight source; and

a plurality of pixels, each of which has at least four sub pixels including red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color, and a fourth primary color;

wherein the ratio of the total relative luminances of the fourth primary color and the red primary color is greater than or equal to 2 in the wavelength range between 550 nm˜600 nm.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the fourth primary color is yellow primary color.

7. A display device, comprising:

a backlight source; and

a plurality of pixels, each of which has at least four sub pixels including red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color, and a fourth primary color;

wherein the ratio of the total relative luminances of the fourth primary color and the green primary color is greater than or equal to 0.5 in the wavelength range between 550 nm˜600 nm.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the fourth primary color is yellow primary color.

9. A display device, comprising:

a backlight source; and

a plurality of pixels, each of which has at least four sub pixels including red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color, and a fourth primary color;

wherein the average relative luminance of the fourth primary color is greater than or equal to 0.03 in the wavelength range between 550 nm˜600 nm when the maximum of the backlight emitted by the backlight source and filters of the sub pixels of the fourth primary color are both normalized to unity.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the fourth primary color is yellow primary color.

11. A display device, comprising:

a backlight source; and

a plurality of pixels, each of which has at least four sub pixels including red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color, and a fourth primary color;

wherein the ratio of the total relative luminances of the fourth primary color and the green primary color is smaller than or equal to 10 in the wavelength range between 450 nm˜500 nm.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the fourth primary color is cyan primary color.

13. A display device, comprising:

a backlight source; and

a plurality of pixels, each of which has at least four sub pixels including red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color, and a fourth primary color;

wherein the ratio of the total relative luminances of the fourth primary color and the blue primary color is smaller than or equal to 10 in the wavelength range between 450 nm˜500 nm.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the fourth primary color is cyan primary color.

15. A display device, comprising:

a backlight source; and

a plurality of pixels, each of which has at least four sub pixels including red primary color, green primary color, blue primary color, and a fourth primary color;

wherein the average relative luminance of the fourth primary color is smaller than or equal to 10 in the wavelength range between 450 nm˜500 nm when the maximum of the backlight emitted by the backlight source and filters of the sub pixels of the fourth primary color are both normalized to unity.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the fourth primary color is cyan primary color.
