Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A pixel structure is disclosed. The pixel structure includes a plurality of sub-pixel groups arranged in an array, wherein each sub-pixel group is constituted by 6 sub-pixels of different colors arranged in two rows and three columns respectively. In each row of the sub-pixels, a square pixel unit is constituted by at most two adjacent sub-pixels. The present application further discloses a display panel and a driving method of said pixel structure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A pixel structure, comprising: a plurality of sub-pixel groups arranged in an array, wherein each of the sub-pixel groups is constituted by 6 sub-pixels of different colors arranged in two rows and three columns respectively; in each row of the sub-pixels, a square pixel unit being constituted by at most two adjacent sub-pixels, wherein each square pixel unit has a corresponding sampling area, wherein when a color arrangement order of an odd row of sub-pixels in a sub-pixel group in the row direction is the same as a color arrangement order of an even row of sub-pixels in an adjacent sub-pixel group, the corresponding sampling area of each sub-pixel in the pixel structure is a rectangular sampling area that takes the sub-pixel as the center and overlaps with 15 square pixel units arranged in three rows and five columns respectively; and wherein corresponding sampling areas of odd rows of sub-pixels of the same color are in continuous distribution, and corresponding sampling areas of even rows of sub-pixels of the same color are in continuous distribution. 2. The pixel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein color arrangement orders of sub-pixels in two adjacent sub-pixel groups in a column direction are the same; color arrangement orders of sub-pixels in two adjacent sub-pixel groups in a row direction are the same. 3. The pixel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein color arrangement orders of sub-pixels in two adjacent sub-pixel groups in a column direction are the same; a color arrangement order of an odd row of sub-pixels in a sub-pixel group in the row direction is the same as a color arrangement order of an even row of sub-pixels in an adjacent sub-pixel group. 4. The pixel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are staggered by X sub-pixels in the column direction, 0≤X≤1. 5. The pixel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in each row of sub-pixels, a square pixel unit is constituted by every 2 sub-pixels, a ratio of a length of the sub-pixel along the row direction and a length of the sub-pixel along the column direction is 1:2. 6. The pixel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in each row of sub-pixels, a square pixel unit is constituted by every 1.5 sub-pixels, a ratio of a length of the sub-pixel along the row direction and a length of the sub-pixel along the column direction is 1.1.5. 7. The pixel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in each row of sub-pixels, a square pixel unit is constituted by every 1 sub-pixel, a ratio of a length of the sub-pixel along the row direction and a length of the sub-pixel along the column direction is 1:1. 8. The pixel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pixel structure comprises sub-pixels of red, blue, green, cyan, magenta and yellow. 9. A display panel, comprising a pixel structure as claimed in claim 1 . 10. The display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein color arrangement orders of sub-pixels in two adjacent sub-pixel groups in a column direction are the same; color arrangement orders of sub-pixels in two adjacent sub-pixel groups in a row direction are the same. 11. The display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein color arrangement orders of sub-pixels in two adjacent sub-pixel groups in a column direction are the same; a color arrangement order of an odd row of sub-pixels in a sub-pixel group in the row direction is the same as a color arrangement order of an even row of sub-pixels in an adjacent sub-pixel group. 12. The display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are staggered by X sub-pixels in the column direction, 0≤X≤1. 13. The display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein in each row of sub-pixels, a square pixel unit is constituted by every 2 sub-pixels, a ratio of a length of the sub-pixel along the row direction and a length of the sub-pixel along the column direction is 1:2. 14. The display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein in each row of sub-pixels, a square pixel unit is constituted by every 1.5 sub-pixels, a ratio of a length of the sub-pixel along the row direction and a length of the sub-pixel along the column direction is 1:1.5. 15. The display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein in each row of sub-pixels, a square pixel unit is constituted by every 1 sub-pixel, a ratio of a length of the sub-pixel along the row direction and a length of the sub-pixel along the column direction is 1:1.
