Abstract

A display panel includes: a panel section including a plurality of pixels disposed in a row direction and a column direction; and a barrier section including light blocking regions and light transmitting regions alternately disposed in the row direction and the column direction, wherein each of the pixels emits light of four colors, and has two sub-pixels for each of the four colors.

Claims (37)

1. A display panel comprising:

a panel section including a plurality of pixels disposed in a row direction and a column direction; and

a barrier section including light blocking regions and light transmitting regions alternately disposed in the row direction and the column direction, the barrier section being disposed at a viewer side of the panel section,

wherein,

each of the pixels emits light of four different colors, and has two sub-pixels for each of the four different colors,

two sub-pixels of the same color are continuously disposed in the row direction or the column direction in each of the pixels or over the pixels adjacent to each other,

when viewed from a given point of view, only one sub-pixel among the two sub-pixels of the same color continuously disposed in the row direction or the column direction can be seen via the barrier section, and

sub-pixels having the same color among sub-pixels that can be seen via the barrier section are not arranged continuously in the row direction and the column direction.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels emits (i) light of red, green, blue, and white, or (ii) light of red, green, blue, and yellow.

3. A display comprising:

a panel section including a plurality of pixels disposed in a row direction and a column direction;

a barrier section including light blocking regions and light transmitting regions alternately disposed in the row direction and the column direction, the barrier section being disposed at a viewer side of the panel section; and

a driving section driving the panel section or both of the panel section and the barrier section,

wherein,

each of the pixels emits light of four different colors, and has two sub-pixels for each of the four different colors,

two sub-pixels of the same color are continuously disposed in the row direction or the column direction in each of the pixels or over the pixels adjacent to each other,

when viewed from a given point of view, only one sub-pixel among the two sub-pixels of the same color continuously disposed in the row direction or the column direction can be seen via the barrier section, and

sub-pixels having the same color among sub-pixels that can be seen via the barrier section are not arranged continuously in the row direction and the column direction.

4. An electronic device comprising a display, the display including:

a panel section including a plurality of pixels disposed in a row direction and a column direction;

a barrier section including light blocking regions and light transmitting regions alternately disposed in the row direction and the column direction, the barrier section being disposed at a viewer side of the panel section; and

a driving section driving the panel section or both of the panel section and the barrier section,

wherein,

each of the pixels emits light of four different colors, and has two sub-pixels for each of the four different colors,

two sub-pixels of the same color are continuously disposed in the row direction or the column direction in each of the pixels or over the pixels adjacent to each other,

when viewed from a given point of view, only one sub-pixel among the two sub-pixels of the same color continuously disposed in the row direction or the column direction can be seen via the barrier section, and

sub-pixels having the same color among sub-pixels that can be seen via the barrier section are not arranged continuously in the row direction and the column direction.

5. A display panel comprising:

a panel section including a plurality of pixels disposed in a row direction and a column direction; and

a barrier section including light blocking regions and light transmitting regions alternately disposed in the row direction and the column direction, the barrier section being disposed at a viewer side of the panel section,

wherein,

each of the pixels emits light of four different colors, and has two sub-pixels for each of the four different colors,

only two of the four different colors are disposed along each row or each column,

two sub-pixels of the same color are repetitively disposed adjacent to each other along each row or each column,

when viewed from a given point of view, only one sub-pixel among the two sub-pixels of the same color repetitively disposed adjacent to each other along each row or each column can be seen via the barrier section, and

sub-pixels having the same color among sub-pixels that can be seen via the barrier section are not arranged continuously in the row direction and the column direction.

6. The display panel according to claim 5 , wherein the two sub-pixels of the same color are from the same pixel.
