b) a plurality of full-color pixels formed over the substrate, each full-color pixel including four sub-pixels, the plurality of full-color pixels defining a display area; and

c) a plurality of chiplets located over the substrate in the display area, each chiplet controlling sub-pixels of at least two adjacent full-color pixels and at least one sub-pixel of a full-color pixel is controlled by a first chiplet and at least one sub-pixel is controlled by a second chiplet, wherein the sub-pixels of each full-color pixel are arranged in a two-by-two configuration.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and a white sub-pixel.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a spacing between the center of each adjacent pixel is the same in at least one direction.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the spacing between the center of each adjacent pixel is the same in at least two different directions.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the size of a pixel is different from the size of a neighboring pixel.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein chiplets are disposed between sub-pixels of a pixel.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein chiplets are disposed between pixels.

8. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of conductors formed over the substrate and wherein conductors are disposed between sub-pixels of a pixel.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein both chiplets and conductors are disposed between sub-pixels of a pixel.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one pixel is controlled by four chiplets.

11. A display device, comprising:

a) a substrate;

b) a plurality of pixels formed over the substrate, each pixel including four sub-pixels, the plurality of pixels defining a display area; and

c) a plurality of chiplets located over the substrate in the display area, each chiplet controlling sub-pixels of at least two adjacent pixels and at least one sub-pixel of a pixel is controlled by a first chiplet and at least one sub-pixel is controlled by a second chiplet, wherein the sub-pixels of each pixel are arranged in a two-by-two configuration; wherein the sub-pixels are formed in an array having rows and columns, the chiplets are located between spaced-apart sub-pixels in at least one, but not all rows and columns, and the spacing between sub-pixels spaced apart by the chiplets is greater than the spacing between sub-pixels that are not spaced apart by the chiplets.
