    Abstract: A display device includes pixel patterns to display an image. Each pixel pattern is repetitively arranged in row and column directions, including primary pixels, first complex pixels and second complex pixels. Each primary pixel is composed of two primary color sub-pixels configured to provide two primary colors of three primary colors, wherein the three primary colors comprise red, green and blue. Each first complex pixel is composed of one primary color sub-pixel configured to provide a remaining primary color of the three primary colors and a first non-primary color sub-pixel configured to provide a first color selected from non-primary colors, wherein the non-primary colors are different from the three primary colors. Each complex pixel is composed of one primary color sub-pixel configured to provide the remaining primary color and a second non-primary color sub-pixel configured to provide a second color selected from the non-primary colors.

  • Publication number: 20160014401
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes first pixels, second pixels, a gate driver, and a data driver. The first pixels receive data voltages in response to gate signals. The second pixels are alternately arranged with the first pixels in row and column directions and receive the data voltages in response to the gate signal. The gate and data drivers provide the gate and data signals, respectively, to the first and second pixels. Dual-gate signals each including two sub-gate signals having a same phase as each other are sequentially applied to the first and second pixels in the unit of two rows of odd-numbered rows and in the unit of two rows of even-numbered rows as the gate signals in a three-dimensional mode.
