Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a pixel arrangement structure, an array substrate, a display apparatus and a display control method. The display control method includes obtaining a first grayscale value, a second grayscale value, a third grayscale value and a fourth grayscale value of a blue sub-pixel of four pixel units in a repeating unit; and calculating an actual display value of the blue sub-pixel based on the first grayscale value, the second grayscale value, the third grayscale value and the fourth grayscale value.

First claim
