Image display device
First Claim
1. An image display device comprising:
- a pixel area in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix shape, each of the pixels including m (m is an integer which is equal to or greater than
4) sub-pixels; and
an image processing unit to which an image having a resolution higher than the number of pixels in the pixel area is input, and which assigns grayscale data of the input image to corresponding sub-pixels, whereinwhen it is assumed that colors of m sub-pixels which are included in one pixel are represented as C1, C2, . . . , and Cm, the m sub-pixels which are sequentially arranged from an arbitrary position include all of the colors of C1, C2, . . . , and Cm in both a vertical direction and a horizontal direction in the pixel area; and
the C1, C2, . . . , and Cm include a color included in a first group and a color included in a second group having a higher brightness than the color included in the first group, and the sub-pixels with the color included in the second group are arranged at equal intervals in the pixel area.

Abstract
There is provided an image display device, in which a pixel includes sub-pixels of four or more colors that include a color in addition to the three primary colors, and which can display a high-quality image in which false colors or artifacts are suppressed. The image display device includes a pixel area in which a plurality of pixels P are arranged in a matrix shape, and each of the pixels P includes m (m is an integer which is equal to or greater than 4) sub-pixels SP. When it is assumed that the colors of the m sub-pixels SP included in one pixel are C1, C2, . . . , and Cm, the m sub-pixels SP which are sequentially arrayed from an arbitrary position include all of the colors of C1, C2, . . . , and Cm in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction in the pixel area.

11. An image display device comprising:
-
a pixel area in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix shape, each of the pixels including m (m is an integer which is equal to or greater than
4) sub-pixels; andan image processing unit to which an image having a resolution higher than the number of pixels in the pixel area is input, and which assigns grayscale data of the input image to corresponding sub-pixels, wherein, when it is assumed that colors of m sub-pixels which are included in one pixel are represented as C1, C2, . . . , and Cm, the m sub-pixels which are sequentially arranged from an arbitrary position include all of the colors of C1, C2, . . . , and Cm in both a vertical direction and a horizontal direction in the pixel area, wherein the image processing unit; determines whether or not the input image includes a high frequency signal in a specific direction; and assigns the grayscale data of the input image to subpixels in order to maintain a resolution in the direction in which the input image is determined to include the high frequency signal, wherein the image processing unit includes a plurality of high-pass filters, and wherein, when assigning the greyscale data, the image processing unit; calculates weight coefficients for the respective plurality of high-pass filters, based on outputs of the plurality of high-pass filters; integrates the weight coefficients with the outputs from the respective plurality of high-pass filters; and synthesizes results of integration. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
