Abstract

According to an aspect, an image display panel includes: a first pixel including (d−1) sub pixels, which are first to (d−2)-th sub pixels and a (d−1)-th sub pixel, and a second pixel that is adjacent to the first pixels and includes (d−1) sub pixels, which are first to (d−2)-th sub pixels and a d-th sub pixel. A region of the image display panel includes a first pixel display region and a second pixel display region. The first to (d−2)-th sub pixels of the first pixel, one part of the (d−1)-th sub pixel, and one part of the d-th sub pixel are arranged in the first pixel display region. The first to (d−2)-th sub pixels of the second pixel, the other part of the (d−1)-th sub pixel, and the other part of the d-th sub pixel are arranged in the second pixel display region.

Claims (37)

1. An image display panel, comprising:

a first pixel including (d−1) sub pixels, which are first to (d−2)-th sub pixels and a (d−1)-th sub pixel, d is an integer of four or more, each of the (d−1) sub pixels displaying a different color from at least another of the sub pixels in the first pixel;

a second pixel that is adjacent to the first pixel and includes (d−1) sub pixels, which are first to (d−2)-th sub pixels and a d-th sub pixel, each of the (d−1) sub pixels displaying a different color from at least another of the sub pixels in the second pixel,

a first pixel display region; and

a second pixel display region adjacent to the first pixel display region, wherein

the first to (d−2)-th sub pixels of the first pixel, one part of the (d−1)-th sub pixel, and one part of the d-th sub pixel are arranged in the first pixel display region,

the first to (d−2)-th sub pixels of the second pixel, the other part of the (d−1)-th sub pixel, and the other part of the d-th sub pixel are arranged in the second pixel display region,

the first to (d−2)-th sub pixels of the first pixel are provided inside the first pixel display region, the (d−1)-th sub pixel of the first pixel is provided from the first pixel display region to the second pixel display region,

the first to (d−2)-th sub pixels of the second pixel are provided inside the second pixel display region, the d-th sub pixel of the second pixel is provided from the second pixel display region to the first pixel display region, and

the (d−1)-th sub pixel of the first pixel is adjacent to the d-th sub pixel of the second pixel in a direction intersecting to an adjacent direction of the first pixel and the second pixel.

2. The image display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein d is four,

the first pixel includes a first sub pixel displaying a first color, a second sub pixel displaying a second color, and a third sub pixel displaying a third color,

the second pixel includes the first sub pixel, the second sub pixel, and a fourth sub pixel displaying a fourth color.

3. The image display panel according to claim 2 , wherein,

the first sub pixel displays blue, the second sub pixel displays white, the third sub pixel displays green, and the fourth sub pixel displays red,

the third sub pixel of the first pixel is provided from the first pixel display region to the second pixel display region, and

the fourth sub pixel of the second pixel is provided from the second pixel display region to the first pixel display region.

4. The image display panel according to claim 2 , wherein,

the first sub pixel, the second sub pixel, the third sub pixel and the fourth sub pixel have same area.

5. The image display panel according to claim 2 , wherein,

the first sub pixel, the second sub pixel, the third sub pixel and the fourth sub pixel have same shape.

6. The image display panel according to claim 2 , wherein,

the first sub pixel of the first pixel has same area with the first sub pixel of the second sub pixel, the second sub pixel of the first pixel has same area with the second sub pixel of the second sub pixel

the third sub pixel provided in the first pixel display region and the third sub pixel provided in the second pixel display region have same area, and are smaller than the first sub pixel and the second sub pixel, and

the fourth sub pixel provided in the first pixel display region and the fourth sub pixel provided in the second pixel display region have same area, and are smaller than the first sub pixel and the second sub pixel.

7. The image display panel according to claim 2 , wherein,

the first pixel and the second pixel that are adjacent with each other form a pixel group, the pixel group is adjacent with an other pixel group in a direction intersecting to the adjacent direction of the first pixel and the second pixel which are adjacent each other, and,

the pixel group is shifted from the other pixel group in the adjacent direction of the first pixel and the second pixel which are adjacent each other.

8. The image display panel according to claim 2 ,

further including a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of signal lines which are coupled with the sub pixels, wherein

the third sub pixel of the first pixel shares, with the fourth sub pixel of the second pixel, one of the coupled signal lines.

9. The image display panel according to claim 8 , wherein

the plurality of scanning lines include a first scanning line and a second scanning line,

the third sub pixel and the fourth sub pixel are provided between the first scanning line and the second scanning line,

the first sub pixel and the second sub pixel of the first pixel face with the third sub pixel and the fourth sub pixel through the first scanning line, and

the first sub pixel and the second sub pixel of the second pixel face with the third sub pixel and the fourth sub pixel through the second scanning line.
