Abstract

Pixel structural designs on a display panel are disclosed. Each pixel on the display panel includes a plurality of sub-pixels. The sub-pixels are arranged sequentially along a vertical direction and used for displaying different colors in a circle. The display panel in the disclosure can be switched between a two-dimensional mode and a three-dimensional mode. In the three-dimensional mode, parts of the sub-pixels are disabled for forming a shielding area. Other adjacent sub-pixels form a pixel displaying unit.

Claims (15)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising at least a first sub-pixel, at least a second sub-pixel, at least a third sub-pixel and at least a fourth sub-pixel arranged sequentially and repeatedly along a vertical direction,

wherein, under a two-dimensional displaying mode, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction are correspondingly configured to display a first color, a second color, a third color and a fourth color, so as to form a pixel displaying unit; and

wherein, under a three-dimensional displaying mode, the sub-pixels on (M−4) rows among every M rows along the vertical direction form a shielding area for broadening a separation distance between two pixels, four adjacent sub-pixels other than the shielding area along the vertical direction are configured to form one pixel displaying unit, M is an integer equal to or larger than 5.

2. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, when M is equal to 5, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction, or the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel, the fourth sub-pixel and the first sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction, or the third sub-pixel, the fourth sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction, or the fourth sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction are configured to form a pixel displaying unit.

3. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, when M is equal to 6, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction, or the third sub-pixel, the fourth sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction are configured to form a pixel displaying unit.

4. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first color, the second color, the third color and the fourth color are respectively red, green, blue and white.

5. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first color, the second color and the third color are three different primary colors, and the fourth color is a color mixed by at least two colors among the three primary colors.

6. A display panel, comprising:

a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising a plurality of sub-pixels, the sub-pixels comprising at least a first sub-pixel, at least a second sub-pixel and at least a third sub-pixel arranged sequentially and repeatedly along a vertical direction;

wherein, under two-dimensional displaying mode, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction are correspondingly configured to display a first color, a second color and a third color, so as to form one pixel displaying unit;

wherein, under a three-dimensional displaying mode, the sub-pixels on (N−3) rows among every N rows along the vertical direction form a shielding area for broadening a separation distance between two pixels, three adjacent sub-pixels other than the shielding area along the vertical direction are configured to form one pixel displaying unit, N is an integer equal to or larger than 4.

7. The display panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein, when N is equal to 4, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction, or the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel and the first sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction, or the third sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel adjacent along the vertical direction are configured to form a pixel displaying unit.

8. The display panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first color, the second color and the third color are respectively red, green and blue.

9. The display panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first color, the second color and the third color are three different primary colors.
