Abstract
An apparatus including a display and control logic. In one example, the display includes an array of subpixel groups. Each of the subpixel groups includes one subpixel in a first color, two subpixels in a second color, and two subpixels in a third color. Subpixel groups in each row of the array are repeated. Subpixel groups in each row of the array are staggered relative to subpixels groups in an adjacent row of the array. The control logic is operatively coupled to the display and configured to receive display data and convert the display data into control signals for driving the array of subpixel groups.
