Display device and signal converting device
First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- a multi-primary-color display panel including multiple display subpixels that are arranged in columns and rows, wherein in a series of L columns of subpixels of the multiple display subpixels, where L is a natural number that is equal to or greater than two, multiple sets of subpixels in the series of L columns of subpixels are provided in first and second different combinations and are arranged alternately, each of the multiple sets of subpixels in the series of L columns of subpixels including L subpixels that are arranged in a direction that is parallel with the rows of the multiple display subpixels; and
a signal converter arranged and programmed to convert a video signal, having values that represent colors of pixels in a matrix pattern, into a multi-primary-color signal provided to drive the multiple display subpixels in the multi-primary-color display panel;
whereinthe signal converter is arranged and programmed to drive the multi-primary-color display panel with the multi-primary-color signal based on a value of the video signal representing a color of at least one of the pixels in the matrix pattern in a pth row of the matrix pattern, where p is any whole number, to generate, based on at least one of a look up table and a predetermined equation, values of the multi-primary-color signal that control luminances of subpixels of the multiple display subpixels positioned on (s−
1)th and sth rows of the rows of the multiple display subpixels, where s is any whole number, and also based on a value of the video signal representing a color of at least one of the pixels in the matrix pattern in a (p+1)th row of the matrix pattern to generate, based on at least one of the look up table and the predetermined equation, values of the multi-primary-color signal that control luminances of subpixels of the multiple display subpixels positioned on the sth row and a (s+1)th row of the rows of the multiple display subpixels.

Abstract
A display device includes a multi-primary-color display panel with subpixels arranged in a matrix pattern of columns and rows; and a signal converter arranged to convert a video signal, having values that represent the colors of pixels with a matrix pattern, into a multi-primary-color signal for use in the multi-primary-color display panel. The signal converter associates a value of the video signal representing the color of at least one of pixels on a pth row with values of the multi-primary-color signal corresponding to the luminances of subpixels on (s−1)th and sth rows, and also associates a value of the video signal representing the color of at least one of the pixels on a (p+1)th row with values of the multi-primary-color signal corresponding to the luminances of subpixels on sth and (s+1)th rows.
