Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of sub-pixel groups, wherein each of the plurality sub-pixel groups comprises eight sub-pixels disposed in a row direction or in a column direction and the eight sub-pixels comprise two red sub-pixels; two blue sub-pixels; two green sub-pixels; and two sub-pixels of a predetermined color, wherein in each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups, a distance between the red sub-pixels or between the blue sub-pixels is less than a distance between the green sub-pixels or between the sub-pixels of the predetermined color, and the sub-pixels of the predetermined color have a luminance higher than a luminance of the red sub-pixels and the blue sub-pixels.

Claims (35)

1. A display device, comprising:

a plurality of sub-pixel groups, wherein each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups comprises eight sub-pixels disposed in a row direction or in a column direction and the eight sub-pixels comprise:

two red sub-pixels;

two blue sub-pixels;

two green sub-pixels; and

two sub-pixels of a predetermined color,

wherein in each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups, a distance between the red sub-pixels or between the blue sub-pixels is smaller than a distance between the green sub-pixels or between the sub-pixels of the predetermined color, and the sub-pixels of the predetermined color have a luminance higher than a luminance of the red sub-pixels and the blue sub-pixels;

wherein sub-pixels of the same color in each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups are corresponding to different polarities, and the distance between the red sub-pixels or between the blue sub-pixels is substantially equivalent to twice a sub-pixel width, and the distance between the green sub-pixels or between the sub-pixels of the predetermined color is substantially equivalent to four times the sub-pixel width.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein in the plurality of sub-pixel groups, a first sub-pixel group comprises, disposed from left to right in a first row or from top to bottom in a first column:

a first sub-pixel of a first color;

a second sub-pixel of a second color;

a third sub-pixel of the first color;

a fourth sub-pixel of a third color;

a fifth sub-pixel of a fourth color;

a sixth sub-pixel of the second color;

a seventh sub-pixel of the fourth color; and

an eighth sub-pixel of the third color;

wherein the first color is one of red and blue, and the fourth color is the other one of red and blue;

wherein the second color is one of green and the predetermined color, and the third color is the other one of green and the predetermined color.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein in the plurality of sub-pixel groups, a second sub-pixel group adjacent to the first sub-pixel group comprises, disposed from left to right in a second row or from top to bottom in a second column:

a ninth sub-pixel of the fourth color;

a tenth sub-pixel of the third color;

an eleventh sub-pixel of the fourth color;

a twelfth sub-pixel of the second color;

a thirteenth sub-pixel of the first color;

a fourteenth sub-pixel of the third color;

a fifteenth sub-pixel of the first color; and

a sixteenth sub-pixel of the second color.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sub-pixel groups comprises a first sub-pixel group and an adjacent second sub-pixel group, and every two adjacent sub-pixels respectively disposed in the first sub-pixel group and the second sub-pixel group are corresponding to different colors.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a vertical displacement exists between two adjacent sub-pixels in each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups having sub-pixels disposed in the row direction.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a horizontal displacement exists between two adjacent sub-pixels which are respectively disposed in two adjacent sub-pixel groups of the plurality of sub-pixel groups having sub-pixels disposed in the row direction.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a horizontal displacement exists between two adjacent sub-pixels in each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups having sub-pixels disposed in the column direction.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a vertical displacement exists between two adjacent sub-pixels which are respectively disposed in two adjacent sub-pixel groups of the plurality of sub-pixel groups having sub-pixels disposed in the column direction.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a pixel displays red component or blue component by not only a red or blue sub-pixel of the pixel but also another sub-pixel of the same color of a neighbor pixel, and the pixel and the neighbor pixel are in the same sub-pixel group.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a pixel displays green component or the predetermined color component by not only a green sub-pixel or a predetermined-colored sub-pixel of the pixel but also another sub-pixel of the same color of a neighbor pixel, and the pixel and the neighbor pixel are in different sub-pixel groups.
