Abstract

Disclosed are pixel array, a display panel, and a display device. The pixel array includes a plurality of pixels distributed in matrix along a first direction and a second direction. Each pixel comprising three sub-pixels has different colors, the three sub-pixels are respectively named a first color sub-pixel, a second color sub-pixel, and a third color sub-pixel. In the pixels distributed in the first direction, adjacent two sub-pixels in adjacent two pixels have the same color, and the adjacent two sub-pixels having the same color in the adjacent two pixels shares a date line.
