The
display device (100) of this invention has pixels (P) arranged in columns and rows to form a
matrix pattern. Each pixel (P) is defined by subpixels (R, G, B, Y) arranged in m columns and n rows (where n and m are integers and n and m≧2) to form a
matrix pattern and that include first, second, third and fourth subpixels (R, B, Y, G) representing first, second, third and fourth colors, respectively. In three arbitrary pixels (P) arranged in line in one of row and column directions, if the central one of the three is called a first pixel (P1) and the other two second and third pixels (P2, P3), the arrangement of the subpixels (R, G, B, Y) in the first pixel (P1) is different from that of the subpixels (R, G, B, Y) in the second and third pixels (P2, P3). The first subpixels (R) of the first and second pixels (P1, P2) are adjacent to each other, so are their second subpixels (B). The third subpixels (Y) of the first and third pixels (P1, P3) are adjacent to each other, so are their fourth subpixels (G). According to the present invention, a
display device, of which each pixel is defined by four or more subpixels, can have its
aperture ratio increased.
