Abstract
Display devices and systems are configured with display panels substantially comprising one of several embodiments of three primary color or multi-primary color subpixel repeating groups that are particularly suitable for directional display devices which produce at least two images simultaneously, such as autostereoscopic three-dimensional display devices or multi-view devices. Input image data indicating an image is rendered to a device configured with one of the illustrated subpixel repeating groups using a subpixel rendering operation.

26. A directional display device comprising:
-
a display panel substantially comprising a subpixel repeating group having subpixels in first, second and third primary colors;
said subpixel repeating group comprising at least six subpixels disposed in two rows and at least three columns such that at least one column comprises two subpixels of said first primary color forming a vertical stripe on said display panel;
said subpixel repeating group further comprising one subpixel each of said second and third primary colors in each row such that a second primary color subpixel follows a third primary color subpixel in said first row and a third primary color subpixel follows a second primary color subpixel in said second row;driver circuitry configured to send a signal to each subpixel on said display panel; and an optical directing component configured to direct light emissions from a first group of subpixels on said display panel to a first viewing window, and configured to direct light emissions from a second group of subpixels on said display panel to a second viewing window. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A directional display device comprising:
-
a display panel substantially comprising a subpixel repeating group having subpixels in at least first, second and third primary colors;
said subpixel repeating group comprising at least twelve subpixels disposed in two rows;
said subpixel repeating group further comprising one subpixel each of said second and third primary colors in each row such that a second primary color subpixel follows a third primary color subpixel in said first row and a third primary color subpixel follows a second primary color subpixel in said second row;driver circuitry configured to send a signal to each subpixel on said display panel; and an optical directing component configured to direct light emissions from a first group of subpixels on said display panel to a first viewing window, configured to direct light emissions from a second group of subpixels on said display panel to a second viewing window, and configured to direct light emissions from a third group of subpixels on said display panel to both said first and second viewing windows, such that when an observer positions left and right eyes in said respective first and second viewing windows, the observer perceives a three-dimensional image. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
