Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Display devices and systems are configured with display panels substantially comprising one of several embodiments of three primary color or multi-primary color subpixel repeating groups that are particularly suitable for directional display devices which produce at least two images simultaneously, such as autostereoscopic three-dimensional display devices or multi-view devices. Input image data indicating an image is rendered to a device configured with one of the illustrated subpixel repeating groups using a subpixel rendering operation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A display device comprising: a display panel substantially comprising a plurality of subpixel repeating groups, each subpixel repeating group having subpixels in at least first, second, third and fourth primary colors; said subpixel repeating group comprising at least twelve subpixels disposed in two rows of at least six subpixels each, wherein four of the twelve subpixels have the first primary color, four of the twelve subpixels have the second primary colo…
