Patent number: 10845639Abstract: Disclosed herein is a display device for increasing the transmittance of R, G, and B sub-pixels and reducing a transmittance of W sub-pixel through a pixel asymmetric design. To this end, the display device has a pixel asymmetric structure in which W sub-pixel has a different area from R, G and B sub-pixels. As a result, as the display device has an asymmetric structure in which the areas of W, R, G, and B sub-pixels are different from one another, particularly, an asymmetric structure in which the area of W sub-pixel is reduced and the area of R sub-pixel is increased. Such design has a structural advantage that the transmittance of R, G, and B sub-pixels can be increased and the transmittance of W sub-pixel can be lowered so that it is possible to correspond the product specifications in various ways.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: LG DISPLAY CO., LTD.Inventors: Taekeun Lee, Sunggyu Kim
