  • Publication number: 20160035799
    Abstract: A display unit of a display panel includes three pixels having different colors. Each pixel has a color sub-pixel and a transparent sub-pixel, both approximately arranged in one column along a first direction. Each pixel has a ratio defined by the area of the color sub-pixel divided by the area of the corresponding transparent sub-pixel. The three pixels are arranged in one row along a second direction, and the ratios of the three pixels are different from each other. Thus, the light transmittance of the display unit can be increased, and the area of the color sub-pixel for each pixel can be adjusted according to lighting efficiency.
