Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of main pixels. Each main pixel includes a plurality of sub-pixels. At least two of the sub-pixels emit light of different colors. The at least two sub-pixels are different in size.

Claims (44)

1. A display device comprising:

a pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels, the plurality of sub-pixels configured to emit light of different colors respectively, each of the plurality of sub-pixels including at least a first aperture and a second aperture,

wherein,

the first aperture is associated with a first circuit having a first write transistor,

the second aperture is associated with a second circuit having a second write Transistor,

a gate of the first write transistor and a gate of the second write transistor are connected to each other, and

apertures in the pixel are horizontally aligned among each of the plurality of sub-pixels.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least two sub-pixels among the plurality of sub-pixels are different in footprint size on a substrate.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sub-pixels includes at least one green sub-pixel and at least one red sub-pixel or blue sub-pixel.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein:

the plurality of sub-pixels includes at least one blue sub-pixel; and

the size of the at least one blue sub-pixel is larger than the size of the at least one green sub-pixel.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one blue sub-pixel and the at least one green sub-pixel are different in shape.

6. The display device of claim 3 , wherein:

the plurality of sub-pixels includes at least one red sub-pixel; and

a length of the at least one green sub-pixel is longer than a length of the at least one red sub-pixel.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one red sub-pixel and the at least one green sub-pixel are different in shape.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one blue sub-pixel has a strip shape.

9. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one green sub-pixel has a strip shape.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of sub-pixels includes at least one red sub-pixel, one green sub-pixel, and one blue sub-pixel; and

the size of the at least one blue sub-pixel is larger than the size of the at least one red sub-pixel or the at least one green sub-pixel.

11. An electronic apparatus comprising a display device in a main casing, the display device comprising:

a pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels, the plurality of sub-pixels configured to emit light of different colors respectively, each of the plurality of sub-pixels including at least a first aperture and a second aperture,

wherein,

the first aperture is associated with a first circuit having a first write transistor,

the second aperture is associated with a second circuit having a second write transistor,

a gate of the first write transistor and a gate of the second write transistor are connected to each other, and

apertures in the pixel are horizontally aligned among each of the plurality of sub-pixels.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein at least two sub-pixels among the plurality of sub-pixels are different in footprint size on a substrate.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of sub-pixels includes at least one green sub-pixel and at least one red sub-pixel or blue sub-pixel.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein:

the plurality of sub-pixels includes at least one blue sub-pixel; and

the size of the at least one blue sub-pixel is larger than the size of the at least one green sub-pixel.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the at least one blue sub-pixel and the at least one green sub-pixel are different in shape.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein:

the plurality of sub-pixels includes at least one red sub-pixel; and

a length of the at least one green sub-pixel is longer than a length of the at least one red sub-pixel.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the at least one red sub-pixel and the at least one green sub-pixel are different in shape.

18. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the at least one green sub-pixel has a strip shape.

19. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein:

the plurality of sub-pixels includes at least one red sub-pixel, one green sub-pixel, and one blue sub-pixel; and

the size of the at least one blue sub-pixel is larger than the size of the at least one red sub-pixel or the at least one green sub-pixel.

20. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the at least one blue sub-pixel has a strip shape.
