  • Patent number: 10847079
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of driving a display panel and a driving device. The present invention determines sub-pixels shared by sub-pixel rendering technology through comparing differences of the color components, and the sub-pixels shared by the display image are not fixed. Since the sub-pixels with the smallest absolute value of the color component difference are selected for sharing, a contrast of an edge region of an image is improved, and distortion of an edge region of an image is reduced.

  • Patent number: 10797128
    Abstract: A display panel and a display device wherein the display panel includes multiple parallel scan lines and data lines crossing and insulated from each other. A nth scan line, a (n+1)th scan line, a mth data line, and a (m+1)th data line jointly define a first pixel area. The nth scan line, the (n+1)th scan line, a (m+2)th data line, and a (m+3)th data line jointly define a second pixel area. The nth scan line, the (n+1)th scan line, a (m+4)th data line, and a (m+5)th data line jointly define a third pixel area. Each of the first, second, and third pixel areas includes a number of sub-pixel units. The sub-pixel units in the first and third pixel areas are disposed in a structurally symmetric manner relative to the second pixel area. The present invention may reduce the complexity of designing the driving IC to the sub-pixel units.
