Display apparatus

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a backlight assembly, a driving circuit part, and a display panel. The backlight assembly emits light. The driving circuit part receives an image signal, converts the image signal into image data, and generates a driving signal based on the image data. The display panel includes at least one pixel in which a plurality of sub-pixels is arranged in a two row by four column array, wherein the panel receives the light to display an image in response to the driving signal, wherein two sub-pixels of the sub-pixels arranged in a first row of the array each comprise a white color filter and two sub-pixels of the sub-pixels arranged in a second row of the array each comprise a white color filter.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display apparatus, comprising:
 a backlight assembly emitting light;   a driving circuit part receiving an image signal, converting the image signal into image data, and generating a driving signal based on the image data; and   a display panel including at least one pixel in which a plurality of sub-pixels is arranged in a two row by four column array, wherein the display panel receives the light to display an image in response to the driving signal, wherein two sub-pixels of the sub-pixels arranged in a first row of the array each comprise a white color filter and two sub-pixels of the sub-pixels arranged in a second row of the array each comprise a white color filter;   wherein four sub-pixels arranged in first and second columns of the array are a first sub-pixel group, four sub-pixels arranged in third and fourth columns of the array are a second sub-pixel group, two sub-pixels of the first sub-pixel group each comprise one of the white color filters, one of the remaining two sub-pixels of the first sub-pixel group comprises a color filter having a first color, the other one of the remaining two sub-pixels of the first sub-pixel group comprises a color filter having a second color different from the first color, two sub-pixels of the second sub-pixel group each comprise one the white color filters, one of the remaining two sub-pixels of the second sub-pixel group comprises a color filter having a third color different from the first and second colors, and the other one of the remaining two sub-pixels of the second sub-pixel group comprises a color filter having a fourth color different from the first, second, and third colors;   wherein the two sub-pixels including the white color filters of the first sub-pixel group are arranged in the same column and the two sub-pixels including the white color filters of the second sub-pixel group are arranged in the same column.   
     
     
         2 . A display apparatus, comprising:
 a backlight assembly emitting light;   a driving circuit part receiving an image signal, converting the image signal into image data, and generating a driving signal based on the image data; and   a display panel including at least one pixel in which a plurality of sub-pixels is arranged in a two row by three column array, wherein the display panel receives the light to display an image in response to the driving signal, wherein two sub-pixels of the sub-pixels each comprise a white color filter and four sub-pixels of the sub-pixels comprise color filters having different colors from each other.   
     
     
         3 . The display apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the pixel is provided in a plural number on the display panel, the pixels are arranged in an N row by M column array, wherein each of N and M is a natural number equal to or larger than 2, and wherein the pixels arranged in a K-th column of the pixels arranged in the N row by M column array comprise the same color filter arrangement, and K is a natural number equal to or smaller than M. 
     
     
         4 . The display apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the pixels arranged in a (K−1)th column of the pixels arranged in the N row by M column array comprise the same color filter arrangement. 
     
     
         5 . The display apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the two sub-pixels each including the white color filter are arranged in a second column of the two row by three column array in each of the pixels arranged in the K-th column and the (K−1)th column. 
     
     
         6 . The display apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the color filters arranged in a first row of the two row by three column array of each of the pixels arranged in the (K−1)th column are arranged in the same manner as the color filters arranged in a second row of the two row by three column array of each of the pixels arranged in the K-th column, and the color filters arranged in the second row of the two row by three column array of each of the pixels arranged in the (K−1)th column are arranged in the same manner as the color filters arranged in the first row of the two row by three column array of each of the pixels arranged in the K-th column. 
     
     
         7 . The display apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein one of the two sub-pixels including the white color filter of each of the pixels arranged in the K-th column is arranged in a first row and a first column of the two row by three column array, and the remaining one of the two sub-pixels including the white color filter of each of the pixels arranged in the K-th column is arranged in the first row and a third column of the two row by three column array or in a second row and the third column of the two row by three column array. 
     
     
         8 . The display apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the color filters arranged in the first row and a second column and in the first row and the third column of the two row by three column array of each of the pixels arranged in the (K−1)th column are the same as the color filters arranged in the second row and the first column and in the second row and the second column of the two row by three column array of each of the pixels arranged in the K-th column, and the color filters arranged in the second row and the first column and in the second row and the second column of the two row by three column array of each of the pixels arranged in the (K−1)th column are the same as the color filters arranged in the first row and the second column and in the first row and the third column of the two row by three column array of each of the pixels arranged in the K-th column.
