Provided is a display apparatus including a display panel, a timing controller, a gate driver, and a data driver. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels and a plurality of sub-pixels. Two pixels among the pixels include five sub-pixels and temporally share a third sub-pixel among the five sub-pixels. The timing controller includes a filter that is set based on a region having the same area as four sub-pixels. The timing controller generates RGBW data having red, green, blue, and white data based on input data, and applies the filter to the RGBW data to generate output data corresponding to each of the sub-pixels.

Display apparatus with enhanced aperture ratio

A display apparatus includes first-kind data lines and second-kind data lines. Each of the first-kind data lines is connected to one of two pixels arranged in a k-th pixel row and a (k+1)th pixel row. Each of the second-kind data lines is connected to two pixels arranged in different pixel columns in the k-th pixel row and the (k+1)th pixel row. At least two first-kind data lines are consecutively arranged.

Display apparatus and method of driving the same

A display apparatus includes a display panel, a timing controller, a gate driver, and a data driver. The display panel includes a plurality of pixel groups. Each of the pixel groups includes a first pixel and a second pixel disposed adjacent to the first pixel. The first and second pixels together include n (n is an odd number equal to or greater than 3) sub-pixels. The first and second pixels share their collective {(n+1)/2}th sub-pixel.

Display apparatus with shared sub-pixel and method of driving the same

A display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel including gate lines, data lines, and pixels, a gate driver, a data driver, and a timing controller. The pixels include first and second pixels. The first and second pixels are arranged in pixel rows adjacent to each other, arranged in different pixel columns, connected to the same gate line, display the same color, and receive data voltages having different polarities from each other. The image data include first pixel data displayed in the first pixels and second pixel data displayed in the second pixels. When the first pixel data have a first grayscale value and the second pixel data have a second grayscale value different from the first grayscale value, the timing controller modulates the first and second pixel data to allow the first and second pixel data to have a grayscale value between the first and second grayscale values.

Display apparatus driven in an inversion driving manner and method of processing data thereof

A display apparatus includes a display panel including a first pixel configured to include first and second sub-pixels and a second pixel configured to include third and fourth sub-pixels. A timing controller generates pixel data including first and second pixel data respectively corresponding to the first and second pixels and representable in a second matrix space, from pixel signals including first and second pixel signals representable in a first matrix space to respectively correspond to the first and second pixels. The timing controller generates the second pixel data on the basis of the first pixel signal adjacent to the second pixel signal which correspond to each second pixel data in the column direction in the first matrix space.

Display apparatus having improved sub-pixel rendering capability

A display apparatus includes a display panel in which a plurality of pixel units are disposed, a backlight providing light to the display panel, and a data processing circuit receiving image signals and providing the image signals to the plurality of pixel units. The data processing circuit sets a luminance level of the backlight to a value corresponding to a color gamut boundary of the image signals adjacent to a saturation region.

Display apparatus for adjusting backlight luminance based on color gamut boundary and driving method thereof

A display apparatus includes gate lines extending in a first direction, data lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and pixels connected to the gate lines and the data lines. The pixels include pixels arranged in a k-th column between a k-th data line and a (k+1)th data line. The pixels arranged in the k-th column are arranged in a plurality of groups, and each of the groups includes 2i first pixels connected to the k-th data line and 2i second pixels connected to the (k+1)th data line. Successive ones of the pixels in each group are connected to the k-th data line and the (k+1)th data line in alternating manner.

Display apparatus

A display device which includes pixels, a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, a gate driver configured to drive the plurality of gate lines, a data driver configured to drive the plurality of data lines, and a timing controller configured to control the gate driver and the data driver. The timing controller receives a first image signal and outputs a second image signal to the data driver. The timing controller sequentially outputs a boosting signal and the first image signal as the second image signal. The boosting signal is based on the first image signal and the previous first image signal.
