Abstract

The present disclosure provides a display device and a manufacturing method thereof and a method for converting a color gamut of a display device. The display device comprises a display panel which comprises a display substrate and a plurality of pixel units arranged on a first surface of the display substrate, wherein each pixel unit comprises a plurality of sub-pixels which comprises a variable color sub-pixel used for emitting light of at least one predetermined color according to a predetermined color gamut. Thus, the light of the predetermined color emitted by the variable color sub-pixels can alleviate the phenomenon of color shift of the display device and thereby improve multiple optical properties of the display device, and the display device can meet the requirements of different color gamuts, while not causing lowering of the optical properties.
