Pixel array

The present invention relates to a pixel array, and more particularly to a pixel array for display.

With the rapid development of display technology, the demand for display panels is gradually moving toward thin, high image quality and energy saving.

In order to improve the brightness of the display panel and achieve power saving effect, in general, the aperture ratio of the pixel is increased by reducing the number of sub-pixels.

However, when the number of sub-pixels of the display panel is reduced, the pixel resolution that the display panel can exhibit is limited. Therefore, there is a need for a display panel that can have both good pixel resolution and aperture ratio.

The present invention provides a plurality of pixel arrays having a high aperture ratio, and the display panel using the pixel arrays can achieve both power saving and high resolution.

A pixel array of the present invention includes a plurality of repeating units. At least one repeating unit includes at least two first color sub-pixels and at least four second color sub-pixels And at least four third color sub-pixels. The first one of the second color sub-pixel and the first one of the second and third color sub-pixels and the first one of the first color sub-pixels are arranged in a column direction to constitute the first Column. The third and fourth and third color sub-pixels of the second and third color sub-pixels are arranged in the column direction to form the second Column. The first one of the first color sub-pixels of the first column and the second one of the first color sub-pixels of the second column are staggered in a row direction. There are no sub-pixels of other columns between the first column and the second column.

Another pixel array of the present invention includes a plurality of repeating units. The at least one repeating unit includes at least four first color sub-pixels, at least four second color sub-pixels, at least four third color sub-pixels, and at least four fourth color sub-pixels. The first and second and fourth color sub-pictures of the first and second and third color sub-pixels of the first and second color sub-pixels of the first color sub-pixel The first and second elements of the prime are arranged in a column direction to form the first column. The third and fourth and fourth color sub-pictures of the third and fourth, third color sub-pixels of the third and fourth color sub-pixels of the first color sub-pixel The third and fourth elements of the prime are arranged in the column direction to form the second column. The third and fourth of the fourth color subpixel of the first column and the fourth color subpixel of the second and second columns are staggered in a row direction. There are no sub-pixels of other columns between the first column and the second column.

Still another pixel array of the present invention includes a plurality of repeating units. The at least one repeating unit includes at least two first color sub-pixels, at least four second color sub-pixels, and at least four third color sub-pixels. The first and second of the first color sub-pixel The first and second of the color sub-pixels are arranged in a column direction with the first and second color sub-pixels to form the first column. The third and fourth color sub-pixels of the second and second color sub-pixels of the first color sub-pixel are arranged in the column direction to form the second Column. In the first column, the first one of the first and third color subpixels of the second color subpixel is located on the left side of the first one of the first color subpixels, and the second color subpixel is the first The second of the two color sub-pixels is located to the right of the first one of the first color sub-pixels.

Based on the above, the pixel array of one embodiment of the present invention arranges sub-pixels of a plurality of colors in a special manner, so that the pixel array can have a high aperture ratio. In this way, the display panel using the pixel array can save more power. In addition, since the pixel array arranges sub-pixels of multiple colors in a special manner, the display panel using the pixel array can be matched with an appropriate sub-pixel rendering (SPR) to achieve power saving. At the same time achieve high resolution.
