Abstract

A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention comprises a pixel including a plurality of sub pixels. The plurality of sub pixels include a red sub pixel (R), a green sub pixel (G), a blue sub pixel (B), a yellow sub pixel (Ye) and a cyan sub pixel (C). The aperture area size of one of the cyan sub pixel (C) and the blue sub pixel (B) is larger than the aperture area size of any of the other of the cyan (C) and blue (B) sub pixels, the green sub pixel (G) and the yellow sub pixel (Ye); and the aperture area size of the red sub pixel (R) is larger than the aperture area size of any of the other of the cyan (C) and blue (B) sub pixels, the green sub pixel (G), and the yellow sub pixel (Ye).

Claims (7)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising a pixel including a plurality of sub pixels; wherein:

the plurality of sub pixels include a red sub pixel, a green sub pixel, a blue sub pixel, a yellow sub pixel and a cyan sub pixel; and

one of the blue sub pixel and the cyan sub pixel has an aperture area size which is larger than an aperture area size of any of the other of the blue and cyan sub pixels, the green sub pixel and the yellow sub pixel; and the aperture area size of the red sub pixel is larger than the aperture area size of any of the other of the blue and cyan sub pixels, the green sub pixel, and the yellow sub pixel.

2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein:

when a chromaticity of the cyan sub pixel represented by x, y is within a first range which is enclosed by a chromaticity of a white point, a chromaticity of a main wavelength of 490 nm and a color purity of 40%, a chromaticity of a main wavelength of 485 nm and a color purity of 60%, and a chromaticity of a main wavelength of 470 nm and a color purity of 100% and is outside a color reproduction range defined by the EBU format, the aperture area size of each of the red sub pixel and the cyan sub pixel is larger than the aperture area size of any of the green sub pixel, the blue sub pixel and the yellow sub pixel; and

when the chromaticity of the cyan sub pixel represented by x, y is within a second range which corresponds to a main wavelength of 470 nm or longer and 520 nm or shorter, is outside the first range and is outside the color reproduction range defined by the EBU format, the aperture area size of each of the red sub pixel and the blue sub pixel is larger than the aperture area size of any of the green sub pixel, the cyan sub pixel and the yellow sub pixel.

3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 2 , wherein the chromaticity of the white point is (0.3333, 0.3333).
