  • Patent number: 9552757
    Abstract: The invention provides an image device with improved chrominance quality. The image device includes a plurality of RGBW pixels, a plurality of RGBY pixels, and a plurality of RBGB pixels. Each RGBW pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel and a white sub-pixel. Each RGBY pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel and a yellow sub-pixel. Each RBGB pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and two blue sub-pixels. The RGBW pixels, RGBY pixels, and RBGB pixels are mixed in the image device. The image device of the present invention can solve the problem of dark yellow in the conventional RGBW display while achieving a white balance status. As a result the chrominance quality is improved.

  • Publication number: 20160174331
    Abstract: A pixel structure includes a plurality of first pixel groups and a plurality of second pixel groups. The first pixel groups and the second pixel groups are arranged in a matrix manner. The first pixel groups and the second pixel group are staggered with each other along a first direction, and are simultaneously staggered with each other long a second direction. Each of the first pixel groups comprises a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel. Each of the second pixel groups comprises a third sub-pixel and a fourth sub-pixel. Three of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel, and the fourth sub-pixel, which are adjacent to each other, cooperate with each other to form a dynamic pixel unit.

  • Publication number: 20160057396
    Abstract: The invention provides an image device with improved chrominance quality. The image device includes a plurality of RGBW pixels and a plurality of RGBY pixels. Each RGBW pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel and a white sub-pixel. Each RGBY pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel and a yellow sub-pixel. In a RGBW pixel, the blue sub-pixel has an area about the same as that of the other sub-pixels in the same RGBW pixel. In a RGBY pixel, the blue sub-pixel has an area larger than that of the other sub-pixels in the same RGBY pixel. The RGBW pixels and RGBY pixels are mixed in the image device. Therefore, a white balance status can be achieved within one RGBY pixel, and thus the chrominance quality of the display can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20160055781
    Abstract: The invention provides an image device and a method for determining the ratio of the number of RGBW pixels to the number of RGBY pixels. The image device includes a plurality of RGBW pixels and a plurality of RGBY pixels. Each RGBW pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel and a white sub-pixel. Each RGBY pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel and a yellow sub-pixel. Four sub-pixels arranged in a 2×2 matrix are formed the RGBW pixel or the RGBY pixel, the RGBW pixels and the RGBY pixels are mixed in the image device. The image device and the method of the present invention can solve the problem of dark yellow in the conventional RGBW display, and improve chrominance quality.
