Abstract

A subpixel arrangement structure for a display device, including a plurality of unit pixels each having a red subpixel, a green subpixel and a blue subpixel which form a delta arrangement structure, wherein openings of the red and green subpixels of each unit pixel are substantially aligned along a direction of a column axis, wherein an opening of the blue subpixel of each until pixel are substantially aligned along the direction of the column axis or a direction of a row axis that is perpendicular to the column axis, and wherein two of the plurality of unit pixels of each pixel group, that are positioned adjacent to each other in the direction of the column axis or the direction of the row axis, share one blue subpixel with each other.

Claims (37)

1. A subpixel arrangement structure for a display device, comprising:

a plurality of pixel groups each of which comprises four unit pixels,

wherein the four unit pixels includes a first unit pixel, a second unit pixel positioned adjacent to the first unit pixel in a direction of a row axis, a third unit pixel positioned adjacent to the first unit pixel in a direction of a column axis that is perpendicular to the row axis, and a fourth unit pixel positioned adjacent to the second unit pixel in the direction of the column axis,

wherein each unit pixel has a red subpixel, a green subpixel and a blue subpixel which form a delta arrangement structure, wherein openings of the red and green subpixels of each unit pixel are substantially aligned along the direction of the column axis,

wherein an opening of the blue subpixel of each unit pixel are substantially aligned along the direction of the column axis and staggered along the direction of the row axis or are substantially aligned along the direction of the row axis and staggered along the direction of the column axis, and

wherein two of the unit pixels, that are positioned adjacent to each other in the direction of the column axis or the direction of the row axis, share one blue subpixel with each other,

wherein the first unit pixel includes a first red subpixel, a first green subpixel positioned at the lateral side of the first red subpixel, and a first blue shared subpixel positioned at the lower side of the first green subpixel, thereby forming a first delta arrangement,

wherein the second unit pixel includes a second red subpixel, a second green subpixel positioned at the lateral side of the second red subpixel, and the first blue shared subpixel positioned at the lower side of the second red subpixel, thereby forming a second delta arrangement,

wherein the third unit pixel includes a third red subpixel, a third green subpixel positioned at the lateral side of the third red subpixel, and a second blue shared subpixel positioned at the lower side of the third red subpixel, thereby forming a third delta arrangement, that is substantially the same as the second delta arrangement, and

wherein the fourth unit pixel includes a fourth red subpixel, a fourth green subpixel positioned at the lateral side of the fourth red subpixel, and a third blue shared subpixel positioned at the lower side of the fourth green subpixel, thereby forming a fourth delta arrangement, that is substantially the same as the first delta arrangement.

2. The subpixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein the first to fourth red subpixels and the first to fourth green subpixels have a rectangular shape in which long sides thereof are positioned in the direction of the column axis, and the first to third blue shared subpixels have a rectangular shape in which long sides thereof are positioned in the direction of the row axis,

wherein the first to third blue shared subpixels are aligned along the direction of the row axis, and

wherein sizes of the first to third blue shared subpixels are greater than sizes of the first to fourth red subpixels and sizes of the first to fourth green subpixels.

3. The subpixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein the first and second delta arrangements of the first and second unit pixels form the line symmetry with respect to the column axis, and

wherein the third and fourth delta arrangements of the third and fourth unit pixels form the line symmetry with respect to the column axis.

4. The subpixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of pixel groups includes ten subpixels within the four unit pixels.

5. The subpixel arrangement structure of claim 1 ,

wherein two of the plurality of unit pixels that are positioned adjacent to each other in the direction of the row axis share the one blue subpixel with each other when the one blue subpixel is aligned along the direction of the row axis.

6. The subpixel arrangement structure of claim 1 , wherein a subpixel arrangement of the first unit pixel is the same as that of the fourth unit pixel, and a subpixel arrangement of the second unit pixel is the same as that of the third unit pixel.

7. A subpixel arrangement structure for a display device, comprising:

a plurality of pixel groups each of which comprises four unit pixels,

wherein the four unit pixels includes a first unit pixel, a second unit pixel positioned adjacent to the first unit pixel in a direction of a row axis, a third unit pixel positioned adjacent to the first unit pixel in a direction of a column axis that is perpendicular to the row axis, and a fourth unit pixel positioned adjacent to the second unit pixel in the direction of the column axis,

wherein each unit pixel has a red subpixel, a green subpixel and a blue subpixel which form a delta arrangement structure, wherein openings of the red and green subpixels of each unit pixel are substantially aligned along the direction of the column axis,

wherein an opening of the blue subpixel of each unit pixel are substantially aligned along the direction of the column axis and staggered along the direction of the row axis or are substantially aligned along the direction of the row axis and staggered along the direction of the column axis, and

wherein two of the unit pixels, that are positioned adjacent to each other in the direction of the column axis or the direction of the row axis, share one blue subpixel with each other,

wherein the first unit pixel includes a first red subpixel, and a first blue shared subpixel positioned at the upper side of the first red subpixel, and a first green subpixel positioned at the lateral side of the first red subpixel, thereby forming a first delta arrangement,

wherein the second unit pixel includes a second red subpixel, a second green subpixel positioned at the lateral side of the second red subpixel, and a second blue shared subpixel positioned at the upper side of the second green subpixel, thereby forming a second delta arrangement,

wherein the third unit pixel includes a third red subpixel, a third green subpixel positioned at the lateral side of the third red subpixel, and a third blue shared subpixel positioned at the upper side of the third green subpixel, thereby forming a third delta arrangement, that is substantially the same as the second delta arrangement, and

wherein the fourth unit pixel includes a fourth red subpixel, the third blue shared subpixel positioned at the upper side of the fourth red subpixel, and a fourth green subpixel positioned at the lateral side of the fourth red subpixel, thereby forming a fourth delta arrangement, that is substantially the same as the first delta arrangement.

8. The subpixel arrangement structure of claim 7 , wherein the first to fourth red subpixels and the first to fourth green subpixels have a polygonal shape, and the first to third blue shared subpixels have an octagonal shape,
