SUBPIXEL ARRANGEMENTS OF DISPLAYS AND METHOD FOR RENDERING THE SAME

摘要

An apparatus including a display and control logic is provided. In one example, the display includes an array of subpixels having a plurality of zigzag subpixel groups. Each zigzag subpixel group includes at least three zigzag subpixel units arranged adjacently along a horizontal or vertical direction. Each zigzag subpixel unit includes a plurality of subpixels of the same color arranged in a zigzag pattern. In each zigzag subpixel unit, a first plurality of subpixels are arranged along one diagonal direction from a turning subpixel disposed at a turning corner of the zigzag pattern, and a second plurality of subpixels are arranged along another diagonal direction from the turning subpixel. In another example, the display includes an array of subpixels having a novel subpixel repeating group. The control logic is operatively coupled to the display and configured to receive display data and render the display data into control signals for driving the display.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a display panel comprising an array of subpixels comprising a plurality of subpixel groups, each column of the array including subpixels of at least two colors centered along the same straight line, wherein each of the plurality of subpixel groups comprises a plurality of subpixel units arranged adjacently along a horizontal direction or a vertical direction; each of the plurality of subpixel units comprises a plurality of subpixels in the same color arranged in a zigzag pattern such that, in each subpixel unit, a first plurality of subpixels are arranged along one diagonal direction from a turning subpixel located at a turning corner of the zigzag pattern, and that a second plurality of subpixels are arranged along another diagonal direction from the turning subpixel; each subpixel of the array has a substantially rectangular shape with an aspect ratio of about 2:1 or about 1:2; and two adjacent subpixels correspond to one pixel for display.
