Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A display apparatus includes a display panel, a timing controller, a gate driver, and a data driver. The display panel includes a plurality of pixel groups. Each of the pixel groups includes a first pixel and a second pixel disposed adjacent to the first pixel. The first and second pixels together include n (n is an odd number equal to or greater than 3) sub-pixels. The first and second pixels share their collective {(n+1)/2}th sub-pixel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A display apparatus comprising: a plurality of sub-pixels comprising at least one shared sub-pixel; and a plurality of pixels each comprising a normal sub-pixel, wherein the plurality of pixels comprises a first pixel and a second pixel, the first pixel is neighborly and physically adjacent to the second pixel, the first pixel and the second pixel together share a shared sub-pixel of the at least one shared sub-pixel, and a total number of the sub-pixels of each of the first pixel and the second pixel is x.5 (where x is a natural number), wherein the first pixel does not comprise an entirety of the second pixel, and the second pixel does not comprise an entirety of the first pixel. 2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein x=1 or 2. 3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the at least one shared sub-pixel and the normal sub-pixel has an aspect ratio of 1:2.5 or 1:1.5. 4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the entirety of the first pixel is neighborly and physically adjacent to the entirety of the second pixel along a first direction. 5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shared sub-pixel of the at least one shared sub-pixel is one color. 6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the total number of the sub-pixels of each of the first pixel and the second pixel is 1.5 or 2.5.
