1. A display apparatus comprising:
- a color display panel; and
drive means for driving said color display panel, whereinsaid color display panel comprises a multiplicity of pixels each comprising a first color dot comprising a plurality of sub-dots having mutually different areas and a second color dot comprising a plurality of sub-dots having mutually different areas, whereineach of the first and second color dots comprises at least one first sub-dot and at least one second sub-dot having an effective area smaller than that of the first sub-dot, andthe first or second sub-dot of the second color dot is disposed between the first and second sub-dots of the first color dot; and
said drive means for the display panel includes data signal supply means for,in a high-resolution display mode, supplying data signals corresponding to date for one pixel among original picture data selectively to either one of the first and second sub-dots, andin a low-resolution display mode, supplying data signals corresponding to the data for one pixel to both the first and second sub-dots.

Abstract
A color display panel has a multiplicity of pixels each including a first color dot composed of a plurality of sub-dots having mutually different areas and a second color dot composed of a plurality of sub-dots having mutually different areas. Each of the first and second color dots includes at least one first sub-dot and at least one second sub-dot having an effective area smaller than that of the first sub-dot. The first or second sub-dot of the second color dot is disposed between the first and second sub-dots of the second color dot. The thus-constituted color display panel allows easy resolution conversion and multi-level gradational display.

23. A display apparatus, comprising:
-
a color display panel; and drive means for driving said color display panel, wherein said color display panel comprises a multiplicity of pixels each comprising a first color dot comprising a plurality of sub-dots having mutually different areas and a second color dot comprising a plurality of sub-dots having mutually different areas;
whereineach of the first and second color dots comprises at least one first sub-dot and at least one second sub-dot having an effective area smaller than that of the first sub-dot, and the first or second sub-dot of the second color dot is disposed between the first and second sub-dots of the first color dot; and said drive means for said color display panel includes data signal supply means for, in a first gradation display mode, supplying data signals corresponding to data for one pixel among original picture data selectively to either one of the first and second sub-dots, and in a second gradation display mode for displaying a larger number of gradation levels than in the first gradation display mode, supplying data signals corresponding to the data for one pixel to both the first and second sub-dots. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
