Display panel structure with uni-color data lines

Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of subpixel emissive areas of a first color, a second color, and a third color arranged in an array having a plurality of rows and columns. Rows of the array include subpixel emissive areas arranged in a repeating pattern of a first color subpixel emissive area, a second color subpixel emissive area, a third color subpixel emissive area, and a second color subpixel emissive area. Alternating columns of the array include subpixel emissive areas: (a) arranged in a repeating pattern of a subpixel emissive area of the first color and a subpixel emissive areas of the third color, and (b) including only subpixel emissive areas of the second color. The display device further includes a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of column lines, and a plurality of electronic subpixel circuits arranged in the array. Each electronic subpixel circuit is configured for receiving electronical signals from a scan line and from a column line and for converting the received signals into a current signal provided to one of the subpixel emissive areas to drive light emission from the subpixel emissive area, where electronic subpixel circuits arranged in a column of the array drive columns of emissive areas having only one color.
