Abstract

An organic light emitting display device includes a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in a substantially hexagonally-shaped structure, each of the sub-pixels including a corresponding one of a plurality of organic light emitting devices, wherein the plurality of sub-pixels includes a plurality of first sub-pixels for emitting light of a first color, a plurality of second sub-pixels for emitting light of a second color, and a plurality of third sub-pixels for emitting light of a third color, and wherein centers of adjacent ones of the first, second, and third sub-pixels form a triangle having one of three sides that is shorter than the other two of the sides.

Claims (49)

a plurality of third sub-pixels for emitting light of a third color, and

wherein centers of adjacent ones of the first, second, and third sub-pixels having no intervening sub-pixels therebetween form a triangle having one of three sides that is shorter than the other two of the sides.

2. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the three sides of the triangle have different lengths.

3. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first color is green, the second color is blue, and the third color is red.

4. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

a plurality of sub-pixels each being substantially hexagonally-shaped, each of the sub-pixels comprising a corresponding one of a plurality of organic light emitting devices,

wherein the plurality of sub-pixels comprises:

a plurality of first sub-pixels for emitting light of a first color;

a plurality of second sub-pixels for emitting light of a second color; and

a plurality of third sub-pixels for emitting light of a third color,

wherein the sub-pixels are adjacent differently colored ones of the sub-pixels in a first direction and are adjacent differently colored ones of the sub-pixels in a second direction that is different from the first direction, and

wherein a first center line through centers of aligned ones of the first sub-pixels that are aligned in the second direction is separated from a second center line through centers of aligned ones of the second sub-pixels that are aligned in the second direction, the aligned ones of the second sub-pixels being adjacent corresponding ones of the aligned ones of the first sub-pixels in the second direction.

5. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

a plurality of sub-pixels each being substantially hexagonally-shaped, each of the sub-pixels comprising a corresponding one of a plurality of organic light emitting devices,

wherein the plurality of sub-pixels comprises:

a plurality of first sub-pixels for emitting light of a first color;

a plurality of second sub-pixels for emitting light of a second color; and

a plurality of third sub-pixels for emitting light of a third color,

wherein the sub-pixels are adjacent differently colored ones of the sub-pixels in a first direction and are adjacent differently colored ones of the sub-pixels in a second direction that is different from the first direction,

wherein a first center line through centers of the first sub-pixels in the second direction is separated from a second center line through centers of the second sub-pixels that are aligned in the second direction, the second sub-pixels being adjacent corresponding ones of the first sub-pixels in the second direction, and

wherein a third center line through centers of aligned ones of the third sub-pixels that are aligned in the second direction coincides with the second center line, the aligned ones of the third sub-pixels being adjacent corresponding ones of the aligned ones of the first sub-pixels in the second direction.

6. The organic light emitting display device of claim 4 , wherein a third center line through centers of aligned ones of the third sub-pixels that are aligned in the second direction coincides with the first center line, the aligned ones of the third sub-pixels being adjacent corresponding ones of the aligned ones of the first sub-pixels in the second direction.

7. The organic light emitting display device of claim 4 , wherein a third center line through centers of aligned ones of the third sub-pixels that are aligned in the second direction is separated from the second center line, the aligned ones of the third sub-pixels being adjacent corresponding ones of the aligned ones of the first sub-pixels in the second direction.

8. The organic light emitting display device of claim 4 , wherein a distance between the centers of two of the first sub-pixels that are nearest in the first direction is shorter than a distance between the centers of two of the second sub-pixels that are nearest in the first direction.

9. The organic light emitting display device of claim 4 , wherein a distance between the centers of two of the first sub-pixels that are nearest in the first direction is shorter than a distance between the centers of two of the third sub-pixels that are nearest in the first direction.

10. The organic light emitting display device of claim 4 , wherein a distance between the centers of two of the third sub-pixels that are nearest in the first direction is shorter than a distance between the centers of two of the second sub-pixels that are nearest in the first direction.

11. The organic light emitting display device of claim 4 , wherein the first color is green, the second color is blue, and the third color is red.

12. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

a plurality of sub-pixels each being substantially hexagonally-shaped, each of the sub-pixels comprising a corresponding one of a plurality of organic light emitting devices,

wherein the plurality of sub-pixels comprises:

a plurality of first sub-pixels for emitting light of a first color;

a plurality of second sub-pixels for emitting light of a second color that is different from the first color; and

a plurality of third sub-pixels for emitting light of a third color that is different from the first and second colors,

wherein sub-pixels of different colors from among the plurality of sub-pixels are adjacent along a first axis and are adjacent along a second axis that is at an angle to the first axis, and

wherein a width of each of the first sub-pixels along the first axis is narrower than a width of each of the second sub-pixels along the first axis.

13. The organic light emitting display device of claim 12 , wherein a width of one of the first sub-pixels along the first axis is narrower than a width of the one of the first sub-pixels along the second axis.

14. The organic light emitting display device of claim 12 , wherein centers of the first sub-pixels in a column arranged along the second axis are offset along the first axis from centers of the second sub-pixels arranged in the column.
