Abstract

Discussed in an organic light emitting display device including a first pixel, and a second pixel being adjacent the first pixel, wherein each of the first pixel and the second pixel includes a plurality of subpixels, wherein the plurality of subpixels include a green subpixel, a red subpixel, and a blue subpixel, and wherein the red subpixel and the blue subpixel are shared by the first pixel and the second pixel.

Claims (41)

1. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

a first pixel; and

a second pixel being adjacent to the first pixel,

wherein each of the first pixel and the second pixel includes a plurality of subpixels, and

wherein the first pixel and the second pixel share at least one subpixel of the plurality of subpixels,

wherein the plurality of subpixels include a green subpixel, a red subpixel, and a blue subpixel,

wherein the red subpixel and the blue subpixel are shared by the first pixel and the second pixel,

wherein the plurality of subpixels constitute subpixel groups having a first subpixel unit and a second subpixel unit which each includes the blue subpixel, the red subpixel, and two green subpixels,

wherein the first pixel and the second pixel constitute a repeating pixel unit, and

wherein the repeating pixel unit has a repeated arrangement in two periods in a row direction.

2. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel are vertically adjacent to each other.

3. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein green subpixels are included in the first pixel and the second pixel, respectively.

4. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein an area of the green subpixel is equal to or smaller than each of an area of the red subpixel and an area of the blue subpixel.

5. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the red subpixel and the blue subpixel are equally shared by the first pixel and the second pixel.

6. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel are symmetric relative to the shared red and blue subpixels.

7. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the red subpixel and the blue subpixel is larger than the green subpixel.

8. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein an area of an emission region of the at least one subpixel that is shared is the same as or greater than areas of emission regions of non-shared subpixels of the plurality of subpixels.

9. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein emission regions of the plurality of subpixels have one of a diamond shape, a round shape, and a rectangular shape.

10. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one shared subpixel has one anode electrode.

11. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one subpixel that is shared is disposed between the non-shared subpixels of the plurality of subpixels in the plurality of pixels.

12. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the non-shared subpixels are aligned in a vertical direction.

13. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the non-shared subpixels of the plurality of subpixels of the first pixel and the second pixel are symmetric relative to a center line of the at least one subpixel that is shared.

14. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the repeating pixel unit and another repeating pixel unit adjacent to the repeating pixel unit are asymmetrical with respect to each other.

15. The organic light emitting display device of claim 14 , wherein the repeating pixel units are continuously arranged in a column direction, and continuously arranged in a row direction by being shifted by a predetermined distance in the column direction.

16. The organic light emitting display device of claim 14 , wherein the repeating pixel unit is arranged by being shifted such that the red subpixel and the blue subpixel of the repeating pixel unit and the red subpixel and the blue subpixel of another adjacent repeating pixel unit are not positioned in the same line.

17. The organic light emitting display device of claim 14 , wherein every second column of the repeating pixel units is identical.

18. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the red subpixel and the blue subpixel are shared by partially included in each of the first pixel and the second pixel.

19. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein straight lines which connect centers of the red subpixel, the blue subpixel, and the two green subpixels of the first subpixel unit form a rhombus.

20. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein straight lines which connect a center of one of the two green subpixels and centers of the blue subpixel and the red subpixel of the second subpixel unit form a triangle.

21. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

a first pixel; and

a second pixel being adjacent to the first pixel,

wherein each of the first pixel and the second pixel includes a plurality of subpixels, and

wherein the first pixel and the second pixel share at least one subpixel of the plurality of subpixels,

wherein the plurality of subpixels include a green subpixel, a red subpixel, and a blue subpixel,

wherein the red subpixel and the blue subpixel are shared by the first pixel and the second pixel, and

wherein the first pixel and the second pixel constitute a repeating pixel unit, and the repeating pixel unit and another repeating pixel unit adjacent to the repeating pixel unit are asymmetrical with respect to each other.

22. The organic light emitting display device of claim 21 , wherein the repeating pixel units are continuously arranged in a column direction, and continuously arranged in a row direction by being shifted by a predetermined distance in the column direction.

23. The organic light emitting display device of claim 21 , wherein the repeating pixel unit is arranged by being shifted such that the red subpixel and the blue subpixel of the repeating pixel unit and the red subpixel and the blue subpixel of the another repeating pixel unit are not positioned in the same line.

24. The organic light emitting display device of claim 21 , wherein the repeating pixel units have repeated arrangement in two periods in a row direction.

25. The organic light emitting display device of claim 21 , wherein every second column of the repeating pixel units is identical.
