Display apparatus and electronic equipment
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein is a display apparatus including: a first pixel including three sub-pixels for displaying three primary colors respectively; and a second pixel including three sub-pixels for displaying two colors selected among the three primary colors and a predetermined color other than the three primary colors, wherein, in the first pixel, the size of the display surface of a sub-pixel for displaying a specific color included in the three primary colors as a specific color missing from the second pixel is larger than each of the sizes of the display surfaces of the two other sub-pixels for displaying the two other primary colors respectively.
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a first pixel including a red sub-pixel for displaying red, a green sub-pixel for displaying green, and blue sub-pixel for displaying blue; and
a second pixel including a red sub-pixel for displaying red, a green sub-pixel for displaying green, and a white sub-pixel for displaying white, wherein,
in the first pixel, an area of the blue sub-pixel is larger than each of areas of the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel; and
in the second pixel, an area of the white sub-pixel is larger than each of areas of the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel,
the area of the green sub-pixel in the first pixel is predetermined in relation to the area of the blue sub-pixel in the first pixel in such a manner that the area of the green sub-pixel is within a range of 95% to 80% of the area of the red sub-pixel as the area of the blue sub-pixel is within a range of 105% to 120% of the red sub-pixel, and
the area of the green sub-pixel in the second pixel is predetermined in relation to the area of the white sub-pixel in the second pixel in such a manner that the area of the green sub-pixel is within a range of 95% to 80% of the area of the red sub-pixel as the area of the white sub-pixel is within a range of 105% to 120% of the area of the red sub-pixel.
2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the area of the blue sub-pixel in the first pixel is equal to the area of the white sub-pixel in said second pixel.
3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said first pixel and said second pixel are laid out alternately in a direction parallel to pixel rows and a direction parallel to pixel columns.
4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the area of the green sub-pixel is substantially 80% of the area of the red sub-pixel, and
the area of the blue sub-pixel and the area of the white sub-pixel is substantially 120% of the red sub-pixel.
5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
a basic area is a third of an area of each of said first and second pixels, and the area of the red sub-pixel is the basic area.
6. An electronic device including a display apparatus comprising:
a first pixel including a red sub-pixel for displaying red, a green sub-pixel for displaying green, and blue sub-pixel for displaying blue; and
a second pixel including a red sub-pixel for displaying red, a green sub-pixel for displaying green, and a white sub-pixel for displaying white, wherein,
in said first pixel, an area of the blue sub-pixel is larger than each of areas of the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel; and
in said second pixel, an area of the white sub-pixel is larger than each of areas of the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel,
the area of the green sub-pixel in the first pixel is predetermined in relation to the area of the blue sub-pixel in the first pixel in such a manner that the area of the green sub-pixel is within a range of 95% to 80% of the area of the red sub-pixel as the area of the blue sub-pixel is within a range of 105% to 120% of the area of the red sub-pixel, and
the area of the green sub-pixel in the second pixel is predetermined in relation to the area of the white sub-pixel in such a manner that the area of the green sub-pixel is within a range of 95% to 80% of the area of the red sub-pixel as the area of the white sub-pixel is within a range of 105% to 120% of the area of the red sub-pixel.
