Abstract

An image display apparatus including an image display panel includes: a first color filter for passing light of a first primary and first auxiliary pixels for displaying the first primary; a second color filter for passing light of a second primary and second auxiliary pixels for displaying the second primary; a third color filter for passing light of a third primary and third auxiliary pixels for displaying the third primary; and fourth auxiliary pixels for displaying a fourth color; the first auxiliary pixels, the second auxiliary pixels, the third auxiliary pixels, and the fourth auxiliary pixels being arranged in a two-dimensional matrix, and a light shielding region disposed at least partly around the peripheral edge of each of the fourth auxiliary pixels.

Claims (50)

1. An image display apparatus comprising:

an image display panel, the image display panel including:

first auxiliary pixels for displaying a first primary color, each of the first auxiliary pixels being provided with a first color filter for passing light of the first primary color;

second auxiliary pixels for displaying a second primary color, each of the second auxiliary pixels being provided with a second color filter for passing light of the second primary color;

third auxiliary pixels for displaying a third primary color, each of the third auxiliary pixels being provided with a third color filter for passing light of the third primary color; and

fourth auxiliary pixels for displaying a fourth color, wherein,

said first auxiliary pixels, said second auxiliary pixels, said third auxiliary pixels, and said fourth auxiliary pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix,

a light shielding region is disposed only within regions that surround peripheries of the fourth auxiliary pixels, the light shielding region extending, for each auxiliary fourth pixel, at least partly around a periphery of the respective fourth auxiliary pixel,

the fourth auxiliary pixels are aligned in a predetermined direction, and

the light shielding region is disposed so as to surround each of the fourth auxiliary pixels except at a peripheral edge facing an auxiliary pixel selected from a group consisting of a first auxiliary pixel, a second auxiliary pixel, and a third auxiliary pixel.

2. An image display apparatus comprising:

an image display panel, the image display panel including:

first auxiliary pixels for displaying a first primary color, each of the first auxiliary pixels being provided with a first color filter for passing light of the first primary color;

second auxiliary pixels for displaying a second primary color, each of the second auxiliary pixels being provided with a second color filter for passing light of the second primary color;

third auxiliary pixels for displaying a third primary color, each of the third auxiliary pixels being provided with a third color filter for passing light of the third primary color; and

fourth auxiliary pixels for displaying a fourth color, wherein,

said first auxiliary pixels, said second auxiliary pixels, said third auxiliary pixels, and said fourth auxiliary pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix,

a light shielding region is disposed only within regions that surround peripheries of the fourth auxiliary pixels, the light shielding region extending, for each auxiliary fourth pixel, at least partly around a periphery of the respective fourth auxiliary pixel,

the fourth auxiliary pixels are not adjacent to each other, and

the light shielding region is disposed so as to surround each of the fourth auxiliary pixels except at a peripheral edge facing an auxiliary pixel selected from a group consisting of a first auxiliary pixel, a second auxiliary pixel, and a third auxiliary pixel.

3. An image apparatus comprising:

an image display panel, the image display panel including:

first auxiliary pixels for displaying a first primary color, each of the first auxiliary pixels being provided with a first color filter for passing light of the first primary color;

second auxiliary pixels for displaying a second primary color, each of the second auxiliary pixels being provided with a second color filter for passing light of the second primary color;

third auxiliary pixels for displaying a third primary color, each of the third auxiliary pixels being provided with a third color filter for passing light of the third primary color; and

fourth auxiliary pixels for displaying a fourth color, wherein,

said first auxiliary pixels, said second auxiliary pixels, said third auxiliary pixels, and said fourth auxiliary pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix,

a light shielding region is disposed only within regions that surround peripheries of the fourth auxiliary pixels, the light shielding region extending, for each auxiliary fourth pixel, at least partly around a periphery of the respective fourth auxiliary pixel,

said first auxiliary pixels, said second auxiliary pixels, and said third auxiliary pixels jointly make up first pixels,

said first auxiliary pixels, said second auxiliary pixels, and said fourth auxiliary pixels jointly make up second pixels,

said first pixels and said second pixels jointly make up pixel groups,

said image display panel includes a two-dimensional matrix of the pixel groups arranged in a first direction and a second direction,

the first pixels are aligned in the first direction,

the second pixels are aligned in the first direction, and

a line of the first pixels and a line of the second pixels are arranged alternately in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

4. An image display apparatus comprising:

an image display panel, the image display panel including:

first auxiliary pixels for displaying a first primary color, each of the first auxiliary pixels being provided with a first color filter for passing light of the first primary color;

second auxiliary pixels for displaying a second primary color, each of the second auxiliary pixels being provided with a second color filter for passing light of the second primary color;

third auxiliary pixels for displaying a third primary color, each of the third auxiliary pixels being provided with a third color filter for passing light of the third primary color; and

fourth auxiliary pixels for displaying a fourth color, wherein,

said first auxiliary pixels, said second auxiliary pixels, said third auxiliary pixels, and said fourth auxiliary pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix,

a light shielding region is disposed only within regions that surround peripheries of the fourth auxiliary pixels, the light shielding region extending, for each auxiliary fourth pixel at least partly around a periphery of the respective fourth auxiliary pixel,

said first auxiliary pixels, said second auxiliary pixels, and said third auxiliary pixels jointly make up first pixels,

said first auxiliary pixels, said second auxiliary pixels, and said fourth auxiliary pixels jointly make up second pixels,
