Abstract

A display apparatus includes gate lines extending in a first direction, data lines crossing the first direction and having polarities of data voltages consecutively repeated every four data lines, and pixels which each comprise three sub-pixels. One of the three sub-pixels has a width in the first direction different from a width in the first direction of another sub-pixel of the three sub-pixels. Each of the three sub-pixels is connected to a corresponding gate line and a corresponding data line. The polarities of the data voltages applied to a first data line and a third data line are opposite and the polarities of the data voltages applied to a second data line and a fourth data line are opposite. The pixels arranged between two adjacent data lines among the plurality of data lines are alternately connected to the two adjacent data lines.

Claims (25)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction;

a plurality of data lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and configured to receive polarities of data voltages consecutively repeated every four data lines; and

a plurality of pixels each comprising three sub-pixels, wherein:

one sub-pixel of the three sub-pixels has a width in the first direction different from a width of another sub-pixel of the three sub-pixels in the first direction,

each of the three sub-pixels is connected to a corresponding gate line of the plurality of gate lines and a corresponding data line of the plurality of data lines,

the polarities of the data voltages applied to a first data line and a third data line of the four data lines are opposite polarities and the polarities of the data voltages applied to a second data line and a fourth data line of the four data lines are opposite polarities, and

the pixels arranged between two adjacent data lines among the plurality of data lines are alternately connected to the two adjacent data lines,

wherein the plurality of pixels comprise:

a first pixel and a second pixel disposed adjacent to the first pixel in at least one of the first and second direction,

wherein:

the first pixel comprises a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel arranged sequentially, the first sub-pixel has substantially a same width as the second sub-pixel in the first direction, and the third sub-pixel has a width different from the first and second sub-pixels in the first direction,

the second pixel comprises a fourth sub-pixel, a fifth sub-pixel, and a sixth sub-pixel arranged sequentially, the fourth sub-pixel has substantially a same width as the fifth sub-pixel in the first direction, and the sixth sub-pixel has a width different from the fourth and fifth sub-pixels in the first direction, and

wherein:

each of the first and fourth sub-pixels is a green sub-pixel,

each of the second and fifth sub-pixels is a white sub-pixel, and

the third sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, and the sixth sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first and second pixels are alternately arranged in the first and second directions.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

each of the first, second, fourth, and fifth sub-pixels has a first width in the first direction,

each of the third and sixth sub-pixels has a second width in the first direction and the second width of the third and sixth sub-pixels is two times greater than the first width of the first, second, fourth, and fifth sub-pixels.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the polarities of the data voltages respectively applied to the four data lines are at least one of (+, −, and +), (−, +, +, and −), (+, +, −, and −), and (−, +, and +).

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pixels arranged between the two adjacent data lines are alternately connected to the two adjacent data lines in at least one of a unit of one pixel, a unit of two pixels, a unit of three pixels, and a unit of four pixels.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, among the sub-pixels connected to one gate line and displaying a first color, a number of the sub-pixels applied with a positive data voltage is equal to a number of the sub-pixels applied with a negative data voltage.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, among the sub-pixels connected to one gate line and displaying a first color, two adjacent sub-pixels in the first direction receive data voltages having the same polarity.
